WWNY Retired teacher helps students become future philanthropists By Brendan Straub | December 16, 2020 at 4:54 PM EST - Updated December 16 at 10:07 PM
WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - We meet a retired Watertown teacher who is helping students become philanthropists of the future.
Emily Sprague spent 30 years teaching English at Watertown High School, but that isn’t where her teaching days stopped.
Sprague is an advisor of the Youth Philanthropy Council, a group of North Country high school students.
The program was created by the Northern New York Community Foundation.
“We are trying to teach them to become the not-for-profit board members of the future, community servants and philanthropists of the future,” said Sprague.
