CSAC Member Highlight: Kathryn Welch
Food education is fundamental to addressing a number of chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. If we can help people make healthier food choices, we can prevent a lot of these diseases. It’s also linked to mental health—if we feel good physically, it can affect our mood and reduce the likelihood of things like violence or anger. Food plays a role in our overall health, and if we address it, we can make an impact on a range of issues in the community.

C3EN Team Member Highlight: Roberta Logwood
Over 15 years, I have touched and helped 500-600 at-risk youth through one-on-one mentorship. I’m most proud of that because coming up I didn’t have that–there was nobody to say, “Hey, I see some potential in you!” or “Hey, you’re going down a wrong path–let me help you!”
