It provides\ntop quality co-curricular and educational programs and initiatives with the\ngoal of developing a new generation of committed and enthusiastic citizens who\nwill better the world and promote positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CCL hosts two projects: The American\nDemocracy Project (ADP) and Tigers in Service (TIS). The\ngoal of the American Democracy Project is to produce college graduates who are\nequipped with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and experiences they need to be\ninformed, engaged members of their communities. Tigers in Service is a\nstudent-operated program that acts as a clearinghouse for college students\nwanting to volunteer and participate in community service activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fellows are required to serve five hours\neach week with the Student Project Coordinators to participate in its projects\nand various events. Additionally, fellows obtain valuable mentorship and\nreal-life leadership experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who successfully complete the\nguidelines are awarded a $1,000 scholarship and have the opportunity to pursue\npaid student employment within the CCL. Crabtree, an organizational leadership\nmajor from Spring Hill, and Sullivan, a political science major from El Dorado,\nexemplify the true characteristics of leaders and uphold the standards of the\nCCL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crabtree has been actively involved in\nvarious leadership opportunities and her background has well equipped her for\nany leadership climate. Her service experiences include volunteering at a\nnursing facility, a women\u2019s shelter and elementary schools, as well as\nassisting with the Neonatal Intensive Care reunions at her local hospital, the\nPerinatal Bereavement Balloon Release and Christmas tree decorating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel that my organizational skills\nand desire to consistently help others can provide a consistent avenue to grow\nthroughout this program,\u201d Crabtree said. \u201cThe time I spent volunteering has\nshown me a multitude of ways our communities need support. I cannot wait to\nembrace some of the opportunities in our Hays community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crabtree is well aware how this\nopportunity will help her grow professionally and academically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAcademically, this program will provide\nme hands-on projects and opportunities to serve others,\u201d she said. \u201cBeing able\nto merge academia and community service will only benefit me in years to come.\nGetting the chance to volunteer throughout the community in small and large\nways lets me see even more how important it is to create a positive change\nthroughout the generations now and generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sullivan, who earned an associate\u2019s\ndegree while still in high school, worked an internship for a non-profit\norganization in Topeka during the 2019-20 legislative session and has three years\nexperience working at a public library. A self-described \u201chard worker,\u201d she\nlooks forward to the fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love having a network of people who\ncan help me when I need it,\u201d she said. \u201cI am constantly working on improving my\nsocial skills and looking for ways to get out of my comfort zone. I came from a\nrelatively small town, so I thrive off community and look forward to serving\nothers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By UNIVERSITY RELATIONS Fort Hays State University freshmen Sidney Sullivan and Madison Crabtree were recently awarded fellowships in the Center for Civic Leadership (CCL).
