Yough Helping Hands
Mission Statement
The primary mission of the Foundation is to provide support to local students, families, and elderly throughout the Yough School District. The Foundation will identify needs and improve/enhance situations for those within the Yough community. We are here to offer that extra “helping hand” to our community by empowering and impacting their lives for a better future.
What's Happening?
The foundation recently presented the 3rd annual community service award to Dr. Mayfield and Tenaska in recognition of their exemplary support for Yough students and residents through District STEAM grants and charitable giving, including the donation of winter coats, gloves, and the implementation of their Christmas family project. As a newly appointed member of the Foundation’s Executive Board, Dr. Mayfield joins Tenaska in demonstrating outstanding commitment to our mission. We are deeply grateful for Tenaska's ongoing support throughout our communities.
