CCE Mission Statement
NEEDED: Paper Towels & Feminine Hygiene Products
Did you know that there are women and girls in our area who miss work and school because they don't have access to feminine hygiene products? For those in need, SNAP benefits do not cover personal hygiene products, so there are women and girls in our area who rely on Parish House donations yet these items are rarely in stock. The WE LEAD Women and Youth Empowerment team is asking for donations of feminine hygiene products (pads, tampons, soft cups, etc.) to help fill this community need until November 7th. You can bring your donations to the Center for Community Engagement & Leadership Development (behind the campus retail store on the second floor of the campus center).

If you are interested, you can call Nigel Jeffries at 304-614-8625 or email him at njeffrie@mix.wvu.edu.

Appalachian Impact Mentor Training
What?
- Lunch Break is the 2014-2015 Mentor campaign sponsored by Appalachian Impact—an organization committed to building hope in at-risk students throughout Upshur County.
- We are recruiting 25-35 mentors committed to spending one lunch break a week mentoring a student in the Upshur County School District. This involves building a relationship with a student, getting to know them, and simply spending time together.
Where?
- All over Upshur County. We are partnered with the school district as a whole and looking to place mentors with students from 2nd-12th grade.
Who?
- YOU. And a student on our list awaiting mentors!
How?
- One lunch per week. Walk in. Meet the student. Hang out. Be a caring adult.
- Oh yeah, and we’ll train you—WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 at 6:00 pm at New Community Church.
Why?
- Because we believe your lunch break should add more to the world than just pounds on your scale.
- Because we believe the adults in this community can SHAPE a student’s life through TIME.
- Because we believe YOU can make a huge difference.
- Because our school system needs the community to CARE.
Ready for this?
