The initiative is now fully operational and growing in Laramie County. As the Director of Connections Corner, Stephanie mobilized and engagted the community to take action on issues surrounding poverty. Stephanie states, "seeing the positive change and growth from our participants and volunteers inspired me each day to continue the great work we do in the community."
