AG Schwalb, along with Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown, Maryland Secretary of State Susan Lee, and Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, today announced that two fraudulent nonprofits, Maryland Youth Club of America, Inc. (Maryland Youth Club) and Virginia Youth Club of America, Inc. (Virginia Youth Club), will permanently shut down and that their founder, Jule Huston, as well as other officers and directors, are banned from doing any business or soliciting charitable donations in the District. Huston is also barred from forming a charity or soliciting charitable donations in Maryland and Virginia, and from serving as an officer or director of any Maryland or Virginia charitable corporation. 
 
“For too long, Maryland Youth Club, Virginia Youth Club, and Jule Huston engaged in an illegal scheme that exploited both DC children and the generosity of DMV residents. I am grateful for the partnership of Attorney General Brown, Secretary of State Lee, and former Attorney General Miyares in putting an end to this unconscionable conduct. As the District’s independent Attorney General, I will continue to use every tool available to my office to protect young people and keep our community safe from fraud and financial exploitation.” – AG Schwalb
