Warren Community Connectors Launches Feb. 1
WARREN, Ohio – The Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber is launching the Warren Community Connectors program Feb. 1 at Warren G. Harding High School. The program is aimed at educating students, parents and educators about internships, externships and mentoring opportunities.
The 90-minute session, from 11:30 to 1 p.m., will feature guest speakers including AVI Foodsystems Vice Chairwoman Patrice Kouvas and Warren City Schools Superintendent Steve Chiaro. It will take place in the high school library.
The Community Connectors program is run by the Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber and funded through two $100,000 grants from the Ohio Department of Education.
