John Boehm Youth Grant

John Boehm was a citizen of Lewisville and one of the original founders of Keep Lewisville Beautiful (KLB). One of John Boehm's passions was to empower youth groups to take greater responsibility for enhancing their community environment. To honor John's years of service to the community, KLB donates funds to help youth groups complete community service projects. He was particularly interested in helping scout groups and projects on school campuses.

KLB is a non-profit organization whose mission is to empower the citizens of Lewisville through education to take greater responsibility for enhancing their community environment. Four times each year, KLB will honor a youth group through a John Boehm Youth Grant award of up to $500 each quarter--that is a total of $2000 that KLB awards grants for youth projects that educate and foster stewardship of the local environment. The grant requirements are simple:
