About the Speaker:

You all know Mikayla and her awesome community spirit.

Mikayla was raised in our community and now calls Walnut Grove home.  While currently Mikayla is a Sacramento firefighter, she has dedicated much of her time to the Walnut Grove Volunteer Fire Department and the TUF Youth Fire Academy.  In June, the TUF held its 3rd annual Youth Fire Academy for local kids ages 11-14.  Along with the Founders Laura and Tom Uslan, Mikayla is an inspiration to those youths wanting to become firefighters when they grow up.  Just like Tyler Uslan, whom the foundation is in honor of.  Tyler dreamed every day of becoming a firefighter.  It's everything he wanted to be.  Those dreams are alive in the spirit of this academy.  30-35 kids each year experience a 3 day camp learning all about the fire station, firefighters, and how they serve the community.  One can only imagine how many future firefighters there will be because of the TUF.
