The Manteca Youth Focus Scholarship Competition is a well-established leadership and scholarship program for young people ages 10–20. Each year, youth from across the community take part in a dynamic competition that helps them grow as individuals and develop valuable life skills. The event includes six phases: Volunteer Service, Academic Achievement, Community Advocacy Speech, Personality Interview, Stage Arts, and Communicative Skills. These areas are designed to recognize well-rounded students who excel in service, academics, talent, and communication.
