We are still in awe of the community and support experienced last week at our Volunteer Recognition Dinner & Annual Meeting. We had the opportunity to show gratitude to the volunteers and community partners that make it possible for our programs to exist and flourish. We heard wonderful remarks from Sheriff Rob Maciol, honored our dear friend Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon, as well as honored volunteers spanning all of our programs. Thank you to all of the volunteers that work with us, and thank you to all who attended this special evening!

Check out the newest cohort of LMV!

Our very own Joanne Louise is among them!

Who says the first day of school is just for kids?!

The Leadership Mohawk Valley Class of 2027 is officially back in session, and we’re kicking off the year with a little first-day-of-school fun!

During our two-day Opening Retreat, we asked our participants to grab a chalkboard and reflect on the beginning of their LMV journey by completing a few prompts:

🍎 I am _____ years old.

⭐ My favorite part of Opening Retreat was _____.

💪 My favorite CliftonStrengths theme is _____.

🎉 I am most excited for _____.

🤝 I met _____ today.

🎓 When I graduate from LMV in June, I hope to look back and remember _____.

These chalkboards capture more than just first-day excitement. They represent new connections, personal strengths, big expectations, and the beginning of a 10-month journey of leadership, growth, and community.

We can't wait to see how their answers evolve between now and graduation in June!

We’re out at the Waterville Cruise-In today! 🚗
Stop by the Empowered Pathways table, say hello, and learn a little more about the work we do throughout our community. We’ve got information about our programs, resources to share, and some Empowered Pathways goodies to take home!
We’re glad to be spending the day in Waterville and connecting with our neighbors. If you’re at the Cruise-In, come see us! 💜
Create Solutions. Move Forward.

⚡ POWER HOURS ARE HERE! ⚡

We’ve reached the final two hours of Mohawk Valley Gives — and if you’ve been waiting to make your donation to Empowered Pathways, now is the time! 💙

From 7–9 PM, donations made during the Power Hours have the opportunity to go even further through matching funds.

That means your gift tonight could have an even greater impact on the work we do throughout our community.

All week, we’ve talked about pathways — pathways to employment, pathways through conflict, pathways toward stronger relationships, new opportunities, and brighter futures.

Tonight, you can help make those pathways possible.

💙 Donate between 7–9 PM: https://www.givemv.org/organizations/empowered-pathways

⏰ Mohawk Valley Gives ends at 9 PM, so we have just TWO HOURS left to make them count!

To everyone who has already supported Empowered Pathways today: THANK YOU. And if you haven’t made your gift yet, there couldn’t be a better time.

⚡ Let’s power through these final two hours together! ⚡

🏁 The workday may be ending, but Mohawk Valley Gives isn’t over yet!

All week, we’ve shared a little about who we are, the work we do, and the impact that support from our community can make. Now, as we head into the final hours of Mohawk Valley Gives, we’re asking you to help us finish strong.

Your gift supports our continued work to create opportunities, strengthen connections, provide resources, and help people throughout our community find their own pathways forward.

💙 Haven’t donated yet? There’s still time: https://www.givemv.org/organizations/empowered-pathways

Mohawk Valley Gives is in full swing, and there’s still plenty of time to make an impact for Empowered Pathways.

Every gift adds to the momentum — and helps us continue providing programs, resources, education, and support that create pathways forward for people throughout our community.

Plus, with special giving opportunities happening throughout the day, your donation may help Empowered Pathways qualify for additional Mohawk Valley Gives funds. That means one gift has the potential to do even more!
