The Smith-Barbieri Fund Scholarship created for Leadership Spokane




The Smith-Barbieri Fund Scholarship was created by Sharon Smith and Don Barbieri and will be awarded to an incoming member of the adult Leadership Spokane program who demonstrates a passion for his or her community, who is making a lasting life transition, and who has a desire to step up to leadership. The candidate must also have a demonstrated financial need that would make Leadership Spokane tuition a barrier to participation in the program.

"We understand how challenging it can be to make lasting life transitions without a community of support around you," stated Sharon Smith and Don Barbieri. "We are working to eradicate the systemic causes that lead to hardships like domestic violence, substance abuse, unemployment and incarceration, but we know that these things still happen. For those times, we work to ensure our vulnerable citizens have access to tools and resources to achieve sustainable well-being and to make their voices heard in community decision making."

The Scholarship Award will be presented at Commencement on June 12, 2014.
