“You always hear about youth being future leaders,” said Renee Spear, executive director for CCTT, adding, “These young adults are already leaders, setting a great example for their peers. Having these connections with our local school districts has been rewarding for both; our organization is able to provide more for the community, and the students receive volunteer hours at the same time.”

This event was sponsored by generous donations from Martin Plumbing & Heating and Fidelis Care, and was organized by Catholic Charities of Tioga County.
