The Ward Melville Heritage Organization

Who Are We?
The Ward Melville Heritage Youth Corps is made up of students, grades 6-12, from the Three Village area and beyond.

What Are We All About?
Our goal is to continue the good works of philanthropists Ward and Dorothy Melville who were dedicated to preserving local history and caring for the environment.

We create and implement all our own events and community service projects. You may have seen us in the media. News 12 Long Island, WABC-TV, Long Island News Tonight and Newsday have covered our events.

There are many benefits to being a WMHO Youth Corps member. It's a great way to get involved and have fun!

There are opportunities for public speaking, leadership, decision making, receiving recognition and scholarships. There's something for everyone!

We invite you to attend one of our meetings. There's no obligation, no membership fee, and we'll be happy to answer any of your questions.
