Giving Back, Lifting Up: Scholarships for Erie Youth

About this episode

Paul Flemmings and Rhonda Caldwell discuss their youth scholarships and the importance of investing in the next generation of Erie leaders.

Erie pride is on full display as hometown champions Paul “Duke” Flemmings and Rhonda “Slupski” Caldwell join us in the studio to talk about the youth scholarships they’ve created—and the bigger mission behind them. They share the real stories that pushed them to give back, the impact they’re already seeing in young people’s lives, and why investing in our kids isn’t “charity,” it’s community survival. From mentorship to money, from encouragement to opportunity, this conversation is a call to action for all of us: step up, show love, and help the next generation of Erie leaders believe in what’s possible—on today’s episode of NEXT.
