The Community Impact Partnership—formerly known as the Service Learning Project—has returned, according to the Northern Kentucky Young Professionals (NKYP). This volunteer-based program enables young professionals to assist groups that are improving our area.
In its second year, NKYP has partnered with the DCCH Center for Children and Families as well as the Brighton Center. The Mail Carriers Food Drive in May is one of four events that NKYP volunteers will assist the organization at at Brighton Center during the year. Members of the NKYP committee will provide residents with monthly educational classes on a variety of topics at DCCH.
According to Kyle Frizzell, Director of Events for the NKY Chamber and NKYP, “We are thrilled to continue NKYP’s commitment to supporting our community through the Community Impact Partnership.” In addition to offering significant assistance to nearby nonprofits, this program fosters relationships between young professionals and the communities in Northern Kentucky where they reside and work. By fostering these connections, we provide enduring chances for participation and development, which aids in retaining young talent in our area.
Basic needs, adult and early childhood education, youth services, housing and financial wellness, workforce development, women’s recovery services, and neighborhood-based programs are just a few of the many programs and services Brighton Center offers in collaboration with individuals and families.
Northern Kentucky Young Professionals and Brighton Center are excited to work together. According to Lauren Copeland, Senior Director at Brighton Center, this is a fantastic chance to introduce young people to charitable organizations and offer worthwhile experiences that have an impact on the community. Young professionals are a vital component of our network of support, and we at Brighton Center are appreciative of the chance to collaborate with NKYP, who are passionate about giving their time and skills to improve the community.
Children and their families are stabilized, treated, and educated by the DCCH Center for Children and Families, which also assists in navigating changes in attitudes, behaviors, and relationships. By providing this support and aid, the organization hopes to create a loving and safe home environment while assisting those they serve in transforming into a loving family and becoming capable and self-assured members of our community.
Cassandra Patterson, VP of Development and Marketing at DCCH Center for Children and Families, expressed her excitement about the partnership with NKYP, which provides various life skills workshops to our residential children. The children in our care have been through a lot, and they need to know that there are caring, safe adults who want to be involved in their lives and teach them valuable life skills.
The next opportunity to volunteer is on May 10 at the annual Mail Carriers Food Drive, which will take place throughout the year. Throughout the year, further opportunities to participate will be announced.
