Youth Development Grant Program
The Mission of the Lucketts Ruritan Club is to make Lucketts a better place to live through fellowship, goodwill, and community service. Over the 40 years since our club’s charter, we have distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars through our Memorial Scholarship Program for local graduating high school seniors. While this scholarship program continues, the Club has now created a new fund to impact the lives of younger children.
This new Youth Development Grant Program has been established to invest in learning and development opportunities for children of all ages who live in Lucketts.
