Ready to become the masters of their craft, the 2023 Jobs for Youth Al Teglia scholars are painting their own path!
While the past year has been full of obstacles in our San Mateo County community, our World is Your Canvas Scholars have continued to lead with resiliency and hope. The 2023 scholars are empowered to make a difference in this world and transform into who they want to be.
Receiving the Jobs for Youth Al Teglia Scholarship is just one small brushstroke in what these bright youth will do as they paint their own paths to their colorful future. We are in awe of their courage and impact within our community. Whatever they pursue will surely become a work of art, because the world is their canvas!
