Warren Wilson College, Outreach Coordinator, Work Program Office

Quote from the Supervisor: “June joined the Work Program in Fall 2021 and immediately brought an inquisitive mindset and creativity to the workplace that was super exciting. They asked questions and immersed themselves in the Work Program, investing their time and energy in learning about the history and values of the tradition. This year, they've taken that creativity to the next level, initiating conversations in the office around leadership development and exploring what the future could look like for that cohort of students. June identified the need for student leaders to have a space of connection and support on campus, to increase their engagement with the work they are already doing and to develop their leadership skills. To that end they’re working to create new and exciting programming on campus to support the work of our crew leaders! This would be a brand new program and June's passion has driven them to make it happen - they're meeting with collaborators on campus, planning the budget requirements, and all of the logistics necessary to pull such an event off. It's no small task to create something brand new and June is making it happen.”

OUR WORK COLLEGE MEMBERS
There are currently ten federally recognized Work Colleges, and nine are members of the Work Colleges Consortium. These institutions are small, private, liberal arts colleges with modest enrollments that range from about 150 to approximately 1,600 students. Each school is unique and operates the work program in a slightly different fashion. However, “work-learning-service” is a central component of each Work College. Student work, coupled with robust academics and a spirit of service, is the common denominator shared by all the Work Colleges.
