RabunYES contributed $2,000 on March 7, 2025 to Forward Rabun's Youth Leadership Program. High school students in the program are exposed to businesses in the Chamber of Commerce, Georgia State and local government departments and learn valuable leardership skills.

During entire month of JUNE 2025, a matching gift programconducted to benefit FOXFIRE and its Summer Youth Leadership Program. We had a goal of $5000 in gifts, but raised $10,415. THANK YOU to all donors who made this program a success.

RabunYES was able to help out Rabun County 4-H by funding a “Project Achievement” program that can take kids to the Georgia State competition level. Also, we are funding four (4) youth for summer camp 2024 and three (3) in 2025 who might otherwise not be able to afford such an experience. We are pleased that this is the third consecutive year in which we could send kids to summer camp with 4-H.. 

RabunYES purchased a whole bunch of bi-lingual books for the Rabun County Library. In 2025 we sponsored the STEM progran at the library with a large purchase of LEGOs.

RabunYES will be placing a priority on sending kids to summer camps in summer of 2022 through 2025. There are a number of groups/camps we are looking to support, such as 4-H, Scouting & YMCA. Many families are having a difficult time paying for summer camp experiences in these inflationary times. RabunYES's 4-H funded kids (4 of them) have just completed 2024 camp.

Projects in 2025

A number of great projects were approved at last evening’s Board Meeting (Dec 20). Youth-based organizations submitted proposals with a Thanksgiving deadline and funds have already been set aside for the projects. As the money is spent, we will announce efforts on this web page and include the initiatives in our seasonal newsletters.

Forward Rabun received a check for $2,000 on March 7, 2025 from RabnunYES in suport of a Youth Leadership Program.
