The Boys and Girls Club of the Mohawk Valley Police Athletic League concluded its first season in August 2009. The program, which was funded in part by a grant from The Community Foundation of Herkimer & Oneida Counties, Inc., organized basketball teams for teens ages 13-18 and members of the Utica Police Department volunteered to coach while off-duty. Ninety teens and eight police officers participated in the 6-week program.

The 2010 recipient of The Foundation's Community Impact Award was Young Scholars Liberty Partnerships Program, a program of the Utica City School District and Utica College. Young Scholars has helped high school students at Proctor High School achieve their academic dreams since 1993.
