Give Something Back is a nation- al organization devoted to mentor- ship and college scholarships for students facing economic adver- sity. The ceremony included Kent County’s Give Back scholars of the class of 2019, who were accepted last spring, and the class of 2020, who were accepted on April 15. Upon graduation from high school, these 9th and 10th graders will attend the University of Delaware for four years at no cost for tuition, fees, room and board. Give Something Back cur- rently has scholars in Kent County at both Caesar Rodney High School and Smyrna High School. Give Something Back is currently recruiting volunteer mentors in Kent County to advise and help its schol- ars prepare for success at the Uni- versity of Delaware. The time com- mitment is small, but the impact is huge especially for many of these students who will be the first in their families to go to college. For more information about Give Something Back or to become a mentor for one of its high school scholars in Kent County, visit http://www.giveback. ngo/mentors/ or call 609.281.5749.

It may not come easy, but it will come in time.” Justin and his wife Carrie live in Wilming- ton, where he currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Home Builders Associa- tion of Delaware and chairs the Young Pro- fessionals Council. He is also a member of ULI, and of NAHBS’s 55+ Housing Indus- try Council.
