From student to staff member to future counselor—what a journey!🧡

Jayda first walked through The Center’s doors in 8th grade and found a community that supported her through some of the most formative years of her life. After graduating, she joined our team as the Whitko Programming Assistant, becoming the same kind of mentor and “big sister” to students that she once had herself.

This August, Jayda begins an exciting new chapter at Wheaton College, where she’ll pursue a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a certificate in Trauma.

While we’ll miss her leadership, compassion, and heart for students, we couldn’t be more excited to see all God has in store. Join us in congratulating Jayda on this incredible next step! 🎉

Caydence is this year's Jerry Walker Memorial Scholarship recipient🎉

Caydence has been committed to The Center’s mission throughout her many years of involvement. She started as an ASC student, then moved into a SERVE position, became an active participant in high school programs Ground Zero and iLead, and eventually secured an internship under the ASC Program Directors. Caydence truly has put in the time and effort to gain most fully what support, guidance, and opportunity The Center strives to provide invested students. She is now pursuing her degree in Elementary and Special Education at Huntington University, and we are thrilled to be able to continue assisting Caydence’s professional development through the JWMS. Congratulations, Caydence!

The Jerry Walker Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in Jerry’s honor, to partner with Whitley County young people whom Jerry cared deeply about. Jerry Walker served on The Center’s Board of Directors for more than 6 years, and was a passionate volunteer, donor, and advocate for helping young people find hope and equipping them to thrive in life.
