YAH Awards Scholarships to Three Youth Volunteers


Charlotte Johnson is a longtime co-chief executive officer and trustee at Otto Bremer Trust. A charitable trust established in 1944, Otto Bremer has helped countless nonprofit organizations through its grant-making activities. In her role with the trust, Charlotte Johnson contributes to its mission of helping local communities move forward by supporting such nonprofits as Youth Acton Hudson (YAH), which focuses on the empowerment of Hudson youth.

Many of the youth volunteers at YAH spend thousands of hours working toward community building. As an incentive, YAH grants scholarship awards to deserving youth. In 2016, YAH chose three scholarship recipients: Clare Weber, Shayla Koeckeritz, and Brianna Manke. 

The three young women have a combined 3,000 hours of volunteer experience and eight years of service to YAH. Throughout their high school years, they have been heavily involved in all of YAH's programs and have had a significant impact in their local communities despite responsibilities at school and at home. 

The recipients have all achieved acceptance to major universities: the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Creighton University, and the University of Colorado Boulder.
