“Being a part of LEAD Greater Williamsburg Class of 2023 has been the most rewarding experience of my professional career. Learning to work with others from varying backgrounds and evolving together to be a cohesive team was challenging. This challenge only helped us grow stronger and now I have a new set of friends I can call upon. Our Present at The Table project just astounds me everyday and I am so excited to see Greater Williamsburg immersed in the movement of bringing the community back together.”

“The LEAD program was more than I could have ever imagined. We were given incredible opportunities to connect with community leaders and truly see what it takes to make Williamsburg the wonderful home that it is. I have made lifelong friends and had once in a lifetime experiences that I will remember forever.”

“The best parts of the LEAD experience have been getting to know my wonderful classmates, gaining knowledge of the community that I wouldn’t have received otherwise, and being able to give back to Greater Williamsburg through our class project.”
