Programs

Lake of the Woods has what it takes to make a difference in the life of our youth: the future begins with us!  

The purpose of LYF’s programming is to empower our youth to:

  • Make healthy choices,
  • Discover their personal passion,
  • Respect our earth and its resources,
  • Develop leadership skills, and
  • Make a difference in their community.

Scholarships

The Lake Youth Foundation wants to support hard-working, community-minded youth in pursuing higher education.  We will be awarding $1,000 and $500 scholarships to Lake of the Woods youth who exemplify the values of citizenship and community service.
