“I was doing amazing work in a small township providing health education and promoting healthy lifestyle changes. I was only able to afford this because of the money from the grant. This has been a life-changing experience and I feel like I am a changed person because of this.”

“LS:1020 Introduction to Leadership… pushed me to speak up more, share my ideas with others, and recognize that leadership doesn’t always mean being the loudest in the room—it can also mean listening, supporting others, and leading by example. It helped me gain confidence in my own voice and realize that I have something valuable to contribute.”
