Hudson Valley Magazine features Youth for Restoration

Youth for Restoration's last project, the Apoquague Friends' Meeting Burial Ground, was featured in an article in the Hudson Valley Magazine in the June 2014 issue.

Beekman Mill House Fundraising

To fund all that Youth for Restoration has planned to do to the Beekman Mill House, fundraising needs to be done, and many volunteers are needed. Youth for Restoration has been going door-to-door, looking for support with this project, as well as running bake sales at local events in order to accumulate enough funds to do the Mill House justice. Though YFR has found support, more is needed to make this project a success this summer.

Our deepest gratitude to all our sponsors.
