Agency Testimonies

"Our LCS students really become part of the DCS family. Their passion and drive to help get students excited about STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education is infectious, and I’m always learning from these incredible students! We feel so lucky to have such passionate and talented students here to help serve our mission."

-Jennifer Collins, Discovery Center of Springfield

"Brianne Hawkins, Yolanda Salas, and Sarah Hassan have been the three LCS members that have worked with me since I started as Program Director. I cannot express how much of a positive impact these ladies have made on our organization. Ms. Sarah has honestly been a rock for our clubhouse. She began her time her as an LCS worker, got hired on as a Gym YDP, and now is our Teen Director. Since becoming our Teen Director, Sarah has made valuable community partnerships and programs for our teens."

-Lauren Gann, Boys and Girls Club

"Our LCS Members have been invaluable to us. As a non-profit, we have a lot of ideas but very little time to implement them. With our LCS members' help, we are able to tackle some of those awesome projects with amazing results! The LCS program is a fantastic way to work with young professionals who truly want to make a difference in your organization."

-Mariah Baldwin, Arc of the Ozarks
