“Inclusion is a choice - the right choice.” - Dr. Pamela Malone
Dr. Malone led an insightful activity during this month's Family Night at Ryves Youth Center.
Our families shared a meal together and had an opportunity to discuss what diversity, inclusion, and belonging meant to them. A few lucky participants walked away with a prize, too!
Thank you, Dr. Malone, Fifth Third Bank, West Central Indiana Community Action Agency, and Terre Haute Housing Authority for joining us in celebrating the diversity of our neighbors.
