Greg Scott has been involved with youth organizations since 1984. His deep dedication to help young people gain life skills that will help them to become active and engaged citizens can be felt throughout the communities in which he has lived.
After moving to Chester in 1992, Gregg immediately went in search of an organization in which he could serve. He connected with the American Legion and volunteered to develop the Boys State program for the Legion post, becoming District Chairman in 1998.

Hands On Northeast Ohio (NEO) was founded in Greater Cleveland in 2007, and since it’s inception Vi Huynh has been invloved. As Cleveland is one of the nation’s most impoverished cities, Hands On Northeast Ohio, and Vi’s service, are critical.
Vi's has volunteered and supported children at an innovative charter school, as well as dogs at a local animal shelter. Additionally, when he saw a void in Volunteer Leadership in Cleveland, Vi stepped up to lead numerous programs within the community. Trained as one of Hands On NEO's first Volunteer Leaders, Vi now manages others in service.
