SUPPORT

TRIO works — not just because it opens doors, but because it builds leaders. At CLC25, Representative Emily Randall joined us to show her belief in that mission. Her presence reaffirmed that TRIO students are not just preparing for the future — they’re shaping it. Support like this helps our work go further and reach more students

TRIO students stepped out of their comfort zones and onto the ropes—learning trust, leadership, and courage one step at a time.

Basketball, bonding, and big smiles. Play isn’t just fun — it builds teamwork, confidence, and connection. That’s what TRIO is all about.

Creativity fuels connection. At CLC25, students used art to share their voice — reminding us that expression is a powerful part of leadership.

When TRIO students speak, people listen. CLC25 gave them the tools and the stage to lead with purpose and advocate for their futures.

These students came to CLC25 ready to lead — and they left even stronger. Through workshops, civic engagement, and powerful conversations, TRIO students took bold steps toward becoming the change-makers our communities need.

Thank You team trio

CLC25 wouldn’t have been the same without the support of The Stampfer Retreat Center. Thank you for helping us create a space where student voices could grow louder and stronger! Next year’s event will be held in a new location — but the momentum we built here continues.
