YOUTH LEGACY ENDOWMENT

Established in 2003 with a gift from Warren and Alison Cohen of Brooklyn, New York. Alison is the Northeast Program Manager (North America) for Heifer International. She writes:

This endowment is a response to the violent murder of a member of Growing Power's Youth Corps in Milwaukee. His name was Javon Duane Tucker. Duane had been a member of the Youth Corps for about four years. His death, allegedly attributed to gang activity, is a tragedy. It is the fourth such violent death among youth in Heifer projects that I am aware of since I started this job seven years ago. Every single one of those deaths involved minority youth, mostly male and mostly youth in urban areas.

The depth of my sadness over this tragedy, and the others before Duane's, is unfathomable. Heifer has an opportunity and a responsibility (as well as a proven passion) to work with youth and I hope this endowment will enable us to provide more assistance to a greater number of youth.
