Help Ossining Teens Go To Leadership Conference

These teenagers are making a difference at OHS as both role models and leaders.

OSSINING, NY — A group of teen leaders from Ossining High School - "Y2Y" - is raising money to attend a four-day Youth To Youth Leadership Conference in Rhode Island. The group and its supporters are just short of their $14,000 goal.

This Go Fund Me site is the place to donate now! The monies raised will be used to pay tuition costs for all 33 OHS Y2Y teens who are signed up.

This year, each teen has contributed $75.
