Join Dr. Ashley Allen-Brown of MU Extension for a live REACH webinar that introduces community members, businesses, and organizations to the Resilient Economies and Community Health (REACH) Community Collaboration serving the Lake of the Ozarks region. This session will walk participants through the different levels of partnership and demonstrate just how simple it is to support local youth ages 14–18 through mentorship, workplace exposure, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement opportunities.
Participants will learn how hosting students at their business or organization can help young people discover they can bloom where they are planted while strengthening the future workforce, the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and the economic vitality of their home community. Whether you are a small business owner, nonprofit leader, educator, civic organization, or community advocate, REACH offers meaningful ways to invest in the next generation while building a stronger regional future together.
