Ep. 10 | Alicia Painter: Cultivating Hope and Leadership at the Boys and Girls Club of Wayne County

From the vibrant courts of Earlham College volleyball to the life-changing halls of the Boys and Girls Club of Wayne County, Alicia Painter's journey is nothing short of remarkable. As CEO, Alicia takes us through her evolution from athlete to altruistic leader, and the serendipitous influence of the Bonner Scholar program on her career path. Her narrative is a celebration of volunteerism and the profound impact that early work experiences, like her first gig at McDonald's, had in shaping her work ethic and leadership style. With authenticity and passion, Alicia shares how her initial aspirations to educate were beautifully redirected into spearheading a non-profit that's dear to countless hearts.
