In addition to providing a new public playground, MYI is dedicated to breaking the cycle of MHS graduates quitting college and returning home to work for minimal wages with no pathway to career and life fulfillment.

MYI was able to front tuition for a recent MHS graduate to cover the span between course registration and when the student grants were to be dispersed. MYI is a firm believer that traditional university is not always the best choice for every high school graduate. We are committed to assisting Menard graduates in whatever means of higher education they choose to pursue. The ultimate goal is to be there when our young people need a little extra boost as they transition into the real world.

For the past couple of years, we have taken on facilitating the Jess Black Memorial Scholarship for a Menard High School graduate.

We have so many exciting plans in store for Menard, and its young people. Your monetary donation will only take us further, faster.
