Joan Taylor Scholarship
Joan Taylor was known as a servant to the community. She brought joy to many people’s lives with creating crafts and brining everything from baby clothes to mothers in need to socks to the homeless. Joan was also known for devoting her life to working with under privilege youth and young women. Joan regularly mentored, taught, ran fund raisers, and annual teas to support scholarship funds for these women to do everything from go to their prom to church camp, to paying for college classes. She made a difference everywhere she went and her joy shinned through the darkest of times for people. Joan passed way in 2013 on May 17th but her family believes in making sure her passion and dreams for youth and young women in need carry on. In conjunction with Synergy Learning Institute two scholarships have been created in her memory.
