The McDonough County Youth Assistance Program was established in 2002 when LEJA Professor and Retired Illinois State Trooper Glenn Daugherty and his family saw a need in the Macomb community. Daugherty's goal was for a 'no red tape' fund to get area children the extras that other programs didn't, or couldn't provide.
