👏💙❤️ Student leadership in action! ❤️💙👏
During the Key Club’s April 2nd meeting, members of the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation visited students to teach the importance of philanthropy, community service, and giving back. Students then took the lead by brainstorming a “laundry list” of needs within the local community and working together in groups to discuss organizations and causes making a difference.
At the start of the meeting, NCCF representatives shared that they planned to donate $1,000 to an organization chosen by the students by the end of the session. Through thoughtful discussion and a completely STUDENT-LED decision-making process, the club determined that multiple organizations deserved support for the impact they have on the community. Inspired by the students’ passion and leadership, NCCF doubled their original donation commitment!
As a result, $500 grants were awarded to both the school’s Key Club and S.A.D.D. (Students Against Destructive Decisions) chapters, while Park Methodist Church received a $1,000 donation. 🌟
This student-led initiative highlights the incredible compassion, leadership, and commitment our students have toward improving their community. We are so proud of the positive impact they continue to make! 💛
