Tyler Augenstein Winner of the Ruth Stanton Community Grant for 2010

Tyler Augenstein from Riverton, Utah, age 18, yet has developed a great devotion for serving mankind.

When Tyler was eleven years old his family opened their hearts and home to two orphans from Ethiopia: a brother who was five and a sister who was three. Tyler described this as a “divine inspiration” and has been a leader for humanitarian work ever since.

He has been involved in helping in projects in Mexico; building houses and performing community service at Navajo and Hopi Reservations in Arizona. Tyler believes in helping those needy in his local community: widows, the handicapped and the homeless. His neighbors describe him as having integrity, flawless character, honest, and trustworthy.

Tyler has been involved in student government and was an Eagle Scout. He is a hard worker who raised funds recently for a humanitarian trip back to his adopted siblings’ birth village in Ethiopia. Tyler and his family arranged for 22 of their friends to bring school supplies and other much needed items and distribute them. Musical instruments were brought in and now a music program is in place for the students.

Currently Tyler is attending college at Brigham Young University and is majoring in Molecular Biology. He wants to either go into research or become a teacher at the college level.

Tyler is all about volunteering and making the world a better place. He has earned the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Presidential Service awards. We are proud that Tyler Augenstein is our 2010 Ruth Stanton Community Grant Winner.
