The meeting brought together Fellows eager to engage with the pressing issues affecting their community and passionate about contributing to an environment of collaboration and understanding.

On Friday, October 4th, the Jackson Grown Leader Fellowship gathered for its second meeting of the 2024 - 2025 school year. As an initiative designed to inspire and empower our community through storytelling and shared experiences this meeting was an important first step for students to identify issues in the community they cared about.
