Give to support InVision Hazard on GivingTuesday!
About InVision Hazard:
InVision Hazard’s focus is towards youth engagement and community involvement. We recognize that young people can accomplish great things when given the opportunity to lead. Our program provides opportunities for students to create relationships and mentorships with local government and businesses providing them a “seat at the table.” Through hands-on education, networking in the community, and opportunities to learn from professionals, our internship provides students with valuable assets that will carry them through their first years transitioning into the workforce. Projects they have participated in or completed during the past two years include meeting and networking with community leaders. Our interns are serving on several committees and boards. They have organized events for local teens, youth and others, such as Thursday’s on the Grand, 5K runs, Music Festivals and our 4th of July Celebrations. They designed two murals that have been installed in our downtown area. They are working with the Mayor, County Judge Executive and City Council and Fiscal Court to improve the look of downtown Hazard. They have been instrumental in advocating for cleaner streets and sidewalks, improving our green spaces downtown. This past summer, our interns became certified Community Scholars. They are documenting the history of Hazard, conducting research, interviewing citizens, collecting the stories that have shaped the fabric of Hazard and Perry County.
We are seeking funding that will allow us to continue this important program.
