Utah Youths Making World Impact

COurtesy of Youthlinc
In March of 2022 The DKJ Memorial Foundation was proud to support Youthlinc in offering Utah youths opportunities for community leadership development and service projects in Cambodia, Fiji, and Kenya.
“These projects provide food and/or fuel resources to communities that are vulnerable to shortages and at risk of losing land to erosion. These issues are often compounded by climate change. By planting trees and vegetation, we also support natural ecosystems and the biosphere. Vegetation helps to regulate carbon, water, and nitrogen cycles and contributes to the overall global fight against climate change. Each community lives under the poverty line and lack resources to do these projects without outside support. All communities have members with the skills to oversee and manage these projects to provide
ongoing support.”
