The 2010 Young Women in Public Affairs scholarship recipient, Chelsea Itaya, received $1,000, as a young woman who has demonstrated leadership skills and interest in volunteer or civic causes. Chelsea, a student at Valencia High School, founded a Model United Nations (UN) program at the school and is a founding member of Circle of Friends, which fosters to bridge the gap between special and general education students through the establishment of social networks.

Chelsea created a sensitivity seminar for awareness and tolerance for special needs students, to include curriculum and training so that the program will be self-sustaining and continue to achieve interaction and sharing between the special and general education students; the UN program represents awareness of some of the most significant global issues facing women. She plans on pursuing courses that will enable her to work in politics.
