In traveling throughout Sullivan County and after
interviewing and taking pictures of four community Renaissance projects one gets
a great feeling about Sullivan Renaissance and the beautification efforts
brought forth by so many volunteers and Renaissance interns.
Of course all of this would never be possible without this beautification and community development program principally funded by the Gerry Foundation and sponsors like Bold Gold Media Group/Thunder 102, Fisher/Mears Associates, Kristt Company, Robert Green Dealerships, Sullivan County Democrat, The River Reporter, Thompson Sanitation and WSUL/WVOS.
There is pride in our communities and volunteers are hard at work on their projects that makes a big difference to both year-around residents and visitors/tourists to our county.
Sullivan Renaissance sponsors sixteen interns who work in their communities taking care of gardens and other public projects including small planter boxes to established gardens to park enhancements and Main Street revitalization and these young people work alongside community volunteers to make a big difference in their communities.
The Sullivan Renaissance Youth Development and Leadership Program is a partnership between Sullivan Renaissance and the Center for Workforce Development that provides paid work experience for Sullivan County youth between the ages of 16 and 20.
This outstanding Youth Development program deserves a lot of credit and a big pat on the back as the interns participate in weekly meetings where they discuss current issues, meet with local leaders, develop their own leadership skills and explore career options.
We tip our hat in admiration and thanks for what Sullivan Renaissance does and in providing a goal where youth can develop a sense of place and find their voice on issues that are important to them.
