ABOUT
We have created a Scholarship for At-Risk Youth, which we hope can help create a brighter future for deserving students pursuing their dreams. While one may associate homelessness with older adults, youth may also find themselves without a secure place to live. When a young person has no home, or worries about where they will sleep that night, education often becomes an afterthought. That’s why we have created the Weatherby Law Firm, P.C. Scholarship for At-Risk Youth. We want to give back to the community by offering help to students who are homeless or who have experienced homelessness, including at-risk, foster care and/or youth with critical financial needs.
