Our Youth Make a Difference

I thought this would be a change from my original posts.

Pictured above with Senator Rob Portman are four youth from the Jackson County LAUNCH program. These youth; Brittney Trisch, Amber Goble, Kaylee McCain, and Autumn Casey spent the week in D.C. learning how to be effective leaders and positive influences in their community. Part of their experience was to meet with Ohio representatives and share with them what LAUNCH is, what roles they play in LAUNCH and the community, and how LAUNCH has changed their lives for the better. I am so proud of these young people and what they have continued to do since this conference in February. Two of these youth; Amber Goble and Brittney Trisch have stayed so involved throughout this year that they will be receiving the President's Volunteer Service Award later this year. This means that they have completed over 100 hours of volunteer service to their community. And these are just a few of the amazing youth I see making a difference in Jackson County.
