$ 1 Million to Davis Teen Centers
The Larry H . & Gail Miller Family Foundation and the Huntsman Foundation made a joint donation of $ 1 million to the Davis Education Foundation to construct teen resource centers in Davis School District .
Headed by Davis Education Foundation , the teen resource centers create safe spaces at school for at-risk students experiencing homelessness and other crisis . The centers allow students to shower , do laundry , study , eat and access critical resources such as hygiene essentials . Counselors and family service workers meet with students one-on-one in the centers to assess their needs , help them graduate from high school and complete college applications .
“ From the moment I walked through the Clearfield High School Teen Center , I knew it was important for us to be involved in this great work ,” said Gail Miller . “ We are proud to partner with the Huntsman Foundation , the Davis Education Foundation , and the State of Utah to form a public-private partnership that provides Utah ’ s youth a safe and secure place to build a fulfilling future . These students will go on to achieve their dreams , find success and elevate their world and ours by using their perspectives , experiences , leadership and education .”
Lead with love and success will follow .
