Welcome to the Island !

Our idea is to pattern this after an existing center in Grayslake known as The Oasis. The Oasis having a proven track record and overwhelming support from the community as a whole. Already we have commitment from local

businesses, parents and many students who are willing to donate their time and efforts to make this dream a reality.

 

But the few we have are not enough. It is our hope that our commitment will pass on to the rest of our communities, and with the help of people and businesses we can achieve our goal and stand proud of our efforts to attain it.

 

 

The question we are being asked more frequently is this:

Who is going to run this, and what does it do to my taxes?

 

Well, in short, this will be solely operated by the Wauconda Island Lake Youth NFP Inc. Our only association with any village government agency will be that of their support and/or contributions. Your taxes are NOT subject to our existence.

 Our idea is to be a viable part of our communities, accepting donations both monetary and property, from residents, businesses and corporations, who believe, as we do, it is time for this to happen
