The Community Resilience committee meets monthly and includes members of the community and individuals from various organizations. This committee is part of the Greater Richmond Trauma Informed Community Network, which SCAN created and for which SCAN serves as the backbone agency. GRTICN’s Community Resilience Committee pursues opportunities to engage community members and to create links within communities to GRTICN efforts. The committee currently has a focus on gun violence prevention and community-centered healing.

The Community Resilience Committee created the Teon Harvey Scholarship in 2024 to assist a rising 12th grader or student who has completed High School (or equivalent) and is entering community college, trade school, a 4 year university, or other continuing education opportunity to achieve the goal of a higher education. It was created to keep Teon’s memory alive by investing in youth who are aspiring to create a positive path for themselves.

Teon was a sophomore at Varina High School in Henrico, VA. He was an avid football player who loved competition. Teon was always the life of the party. He and his brother Keontae were the Ying to each other’s Yang. Teon loved eating his Nana’s cooking, working on cars with his Papa, spending time with his family and friends, and dancing. He was a sweet, energetic, loving, and protective young boy. His bright smile, swag of a walk, and his smooth charm will be remembered for years to come by all who were touched by him.

The $750 Teon Harvey scholarship can be used for Community college, trade school, or a 4-year university. The funds can be used to cover tuition, room and board, food, or school supplies.

Individuals interested in applying for the scholarship can find the application here. Applications will be accepted through August 20, 2024.
