Community Building & Engagement

Supporting Barry Community Foundation’s youth initiatives, KickStart and the Youth Advisory Council (YAC), through strategic communication, storytelling, and community engagement. From promoting financial literacy and early savings habits to highlighting youth leadership, philanthropy, and grantmaking, this work helps connect young people with opportunities to learn, lead, and make a lasting impact in Barry County.

A new community initiative designed to connect young professionals, encourage meaningful relationships, and create opportunities for local impact. Work included developing the program's identity and positioning, membership structure, launch strategy, communications, and engagement opportunities to build a community centered on connection, belonging, and giving back.
