About LEGACY PROGRAM:
OUR LEGACY YOUTH ARE GROWING UP. The Legacy Program is IMCAP’s way of honoring the rich history of the Illinois Masonic Children’s Home outside of the walls of the Children’s Homes. The goal of the Legacy Program is to support our Children to ensure they have the opportunities they need to reach their fullest potential. Over the past year, our young people have graduated from college, attended summer camps, gone on mission trips, taken swimming lessons, been recruited to play football in college, dressed up for proms, and more. Our youth have experienced ups and downs throughout the year, IMCAP has been there to offer financial assistance, encouragement, and guidance.
As we watched our 24 children and young adults in the Legacy Program grow and begin new challenges, they have inspired us by their resiliency and their hope.
Highlights of the past year’s achievements and opportunities:
Our first college student graduated college with his Bachelor of Arts in Accountancy. He graduated with a 3.5 GPA.
Six Legacy students attended college and three graduated from high school.
Our Murphysboro Legacy participants moved from Spero’s Children’s Home to host homes in the Murphysboro area due to significant programming changes at Spero. The six youth enjoyed living in their new home environment.
Six youth attended summer camps and seven participated in school sports programs. Five youth obtained their driver’s licenses.
