The Business Journal asked readers to nominate people who have made a significant positive impact on their workplace and in the community. Here is one of the Impact Makers:
Christopher Colón
Executive Director, Thrive Mahoning Valley
Christopher Colón co-founded Thrive Mahoning Valley in 2018 to assist people from Puerto Rico who had been displaced by devastating hurricanes. What began with two volunteers has grown significantly.
Whether it’s connecting someone with a job, finding housing, providing a bike for commuting to school, or fostering relationships, Chris makes a meaningful difference. His influence ripples through the community, thanks to the solid foundation he has built and his unwavering love for the Valley.
Nominated by Vicki Vicars.
