S1 EP7 - Jill Lewis and Clark Quattrocchi

In this episode, you will learn how Chaffee County Youth in Action creates meaningful connections between middle school students and preschoolers while strengthening leadership, responsibility, confidence, and a sense of belonging. 

Clark Quattrocchi explains the program’s history and mission, the role of mentorship and community partnerships, the activities that help participants build relationships, and the lasting impact these experiences can have on both age groups. You will also hear how local educators, families, volunteers, and businesses support the program and what new opportunities participants can expect in the coming school year.

The FYI Connection Hub podcast creates space for conversations that connect our community to the people, partnerships and programs supporting children, youth and families in Chaffee County.

Jill Lewis is the spark plug behind community collaboration as Chaffee County Youth Alliance’s Community Collaboration Coordinator. She’s worked across education, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors over the past 30 years.
