About

The Easton Wings of Hope Student Coalition (StuCo) was established in January of 2022 through continued partnership with Easton Public Schools. In an effort to engage and train youth in the coalition, EWOH reached out to EPS offering a free field trip to the CADCA National Leadership Forum. Five students applied, attended, and came back to their community ready to brainstorm initiatives, engage their peers in person and through social media, and begin to form the building blocks that would bring 30+ youth to the coalition throughout the year of 2022.

The group, consisting of 6-12 graders, meets every month. Click the “Become a Member” link above to get updates sent straight to your phone and connect with fellow youth within the coalition, or email our Project Coordinator, Kelly Reed, at [email protected].
