This year's Community 101 program in Knappa and another in Astoria put students in charge of a mini-foundation worth $5,000, giving them the responsibility of equitably doling it out to to local nonprofits and eight local groups walked away with $10,000 as 19 Clatsop County high school students learned the importance of giving back to their communities.
The program was started by the Portland General Electric Foundation and organized by the Oregon Community Foundation, is funded by corporate and local sponsors.
