The program is supported by a $65,000 grant from the Raymond John Wean Foundation, Warren. All students have a minimum GPA of 3.0.

“This program aims to provide meaningful, career-related experience which in turn fosters and develops leadership skills to serve in the public and nonprofit employment sectors,” said Laura Dewberry, director of the YSU Center for Nonprofit Leadership, in a statement. “This program also benefits the selected host organizations by building capacity as the students work on projects that help increase the impact made in the organizations’ community work.” To read the full story from The Business Journal, click here.
