October 25, 2021 By WRFA Radio Leave a Comment

The YWCA of Jamestown has announced $100,000 grant from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation to implement a Social Justice and Race Equity Program.

Alize Scott has been named as the new director for the Social Justice and Race Equity program. Born and raised in Jamestown, Ms. Scott has been employed with the YWCA of Jamestown for several years in the role as a Comprehensive Adolescent Prevention Educator. A graduate student at the University of Buffalo, Ms. Scott is working toward a Master’s in American Studies with a concentration in African American Studies and is currently teaching an inquiry course at Jamestown Community College titled “The Black Experience.”
