Yesterday, we were happy to welcome 55 young scholars from East Butler High School for a facilities tour and conversation! This group of 9th through 12th graders are participants in their school’s SkillsUSA chapter, which prepares them not only for success in their future careers, but deepens their understanding of what it means to be responsible community members. They got to hear firsthand from staff in a variety of roles, such as President & CEO, Front Office Specialist, Community Partnerships Director & more! While their duties vary widely, they’re all united by the responsibility they feel to both our community and our shared mission. We’re grateful to the students from East Butler for their thoughtful engagement and plentiful questions as they learned a little more about what we do—and why we do it.
