Youth In Need Welcomes Coro Fellow Aubrey Lay

Meet Aubrey Lay, a Coro Fellow from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, who is joining Youth In Need for the first sector in his Coro Fellowship program!
Aubrey is originally from Maryland and has a strong passion for education and developing strong personal connections. “There’s such breadth, yet such depth at Youth In Need. I’m looking forward to learning how an organization like Youth In Need manages so many different programs successfully!”
Coro is a community-based leadership training program that offers experiential learning in multiple sectors to further develop a fellow’s knowledge, skills and networks, preparing them for effective and ethical leadership.
We are so excited to have Aubrey on board!
