TempForce is proud to present the Justin Hornsby Memorial Scholarship: our way of giving back to the youth in our community by equipping them with the tools they need to build a better future. Our goal is to promote emotional health and wellbeing; to spread awareness about mental health and start a dialogue with young people who are passionate about helping those who are struggling; and to find the leaders of tomorrow who will bring the darkness to light and fuel the innovative solutions we need to help the millions of people dealing with these issues every day.

Today more than ever before, young people experience anxiety, depression, loneliness and intense pressures that they struggle to cope with. It’s vital to remember how important it is to be there to help each another emotionally endure the many challenges the world has for young people, and to create the supportive and loving environment that is essential to coming of age today.

We’re looking for students who exemplify that spirit of love and support. Eight $750 Scholarships will be awarded to students who are not only academically gifted and committed to continuing their education, but passionate about making the world a better place. Special consideration will be given to students who demonstrate an understanding of the significant role mental health plays in our lives and are passionate about promoting mental wellness and helping those who are struggling.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
