Out in the community 🤲
Over the past 10 months, team member Devin has been part of Leadership Centre County, a community leadership program that brings together community members to explore key social and economic issues facing the region.
Through this experience, class members connected with local leaders, participated in meaningful conversations about community challenges, and gained a deeper understanding of the diverse perspectives that shape Centre County. The program focuses on collaborative problem-solving and encourages participants to become more active and informed citizens.
As part of the program, each participant completes a group leadership project focused on addressing real needs within the community. To address the issue of food insecurity in Centre County, Devin and her group partnered with the State College Food Bank and local businesses to organize a food drive, collecting 720 pounds of food and $1,007.40 in cash donations to support local families in need.
