Susan Landis Youth Philanthropists

Susan Landis Youth Philanthropists is designed to encourage high school students to

become involved in giving back through community service and to cultivate a

philanthropic mindset. Led by Beth Jarrell and Amanda Sauchuck, the group has monthly

meetings on the value of volunteering, developing leadership and communication skills.

This year’s SLYP participants provided bottled water, snacks and decorated two waiting

room areas for the holidays at Raleigh General Hospital. SLYP also prepared snacks and

provided activity packets at Beckley Appalachian Regional Hospital, these activities were

for their “Do Good December” project. Other projects included provided Christmas crafts

for children at the United Way SWV Wonderland of Trees event, gathering donations for

the homeless shelter and providing over $1,500 in grants to local nonprofit organizations

supporting the arts.

SLYP members are students from Raleigh County High Schools. Currently, our students

represent Shady Spring, Woodrow Wilson, Liberty, and Greater Beckley Christian schools.
