Community Engagement
As a philanthropist, Sharitta has endowed a scholarship at her high school alma mater, School of the Arts. The Change Agent Scholarship annually assists two seniors from underrepresented populations in their pursuit of post- secondary education in STEAM, education, or human services.
Additionally, she contributes annually to support ALANA students wishing to participate in Rochester Institute of Technology’s Alternative Spring Break program, giving college students the opportunity to engage in direct service with communities around the world. At the YWCA of Rochester and Monroe County, there is a room named in her grandmother’s honor, Ella’s Room, for her support of the Adopt-a-Room program, which provides women with a safe space to begin their transition toward healing and a renewed start on their lives.
