Rogers Scholars perform a community service project with PRIDE, the region's environmental cleanup and education organization, during their week at The Center. This year, they cleaned the shore near Conley Bottom Resort Marina in Wayne County.The first class of Rogers Scholars picked up trash on June 25. Thirty-four Scholars collected 28 bags of trash. -2012 Rogers Scholars - Week 1 (volunteered 6-25-12) - Bath Co. - Patrick Toy, Bath Co. High School -The second class, with a total of 32 students, picked up 38 bags of trash and two tires on July 11. - 2012 Rogers Scholars - Week 2 (volunteered 7-11-12) - /i> - Adair Co. - Elizabeth McGaha, Adair Co. High School -"We believe the Rogers Scholars will be successful leaders and entrepreneurs in the future, and we want them to live out that potential right here at home," said Delaney Stephens, The Center's Youth Programs Coordinator and Community Liaison. "The community service project begins building that long-term commitment to the students' communities," Stephens explained. "It starts while they are here with the cleanup, and then each Scholar is tasked with developing a community service project in their home communities after they complete the program." Rogers Scholars provides leadership and exclusive scholarship opportunities for young people to seize their potential as the region's next generation of business and entrepreneurial leaders. The tuition-free program is available to students in The Center's 42-county primary service area. The Center and Pride were created by Congressman Hal Rogers (KY-5) to assist communities with creating long-term opportunities for their young people. The Center launched the Rogers Scholars program in 1998 as part of its youth development mission.
