Glenn, speaking on behalf of the Woodland Hills Impact Center, told the board on March 19 that the center runs a suite of community programs the district supports, including a senior employment program in partnership with the National Urban League, homeownership classes with NeighborWorks and planned summer programs with several partners.
Glenn said the senior program lets participating seniors work up to 29 hours per week in roles at the Impact Center and that participation does not impact Social Security benefits or other services and comes at no cost to the district. He said the Impact Center will launch a six-week homeownership course on April 17 through a partnership with NeighborWorks aimed at reversing population decline in the Mon Valley by helping renters transition to home ownership.
He also announced an Easter celebration April 25, 2025, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. split between Rankin Christian Center and the Woodland Hills Impact Center, and a vision-board event for National Women's History Month on March 26 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Glenn said the center is preparing for summer camp 2025 and is coordinating with partners including Each 1 Teach 1, Learn and Earn, Carnegie Mellon University, the Swiss Federal Library (as stated) and Rivers of Steel; Glenn said additional details will be shared at the next board meeting.
Ending: Board members thanked Glenn and praised the Impact Center's community work; the district said further updates on summer programming will come at future meetings.
