Panasonic’s director of global human resources, Stephen Childs, recently presented a $4,500 check to AVPRIDE to support their efforts to develop young leadership in Fayette County.

“To have Panasonic as a corporate sponsor and partner increases AVPRIDE’s capacity in the areas of mentorship, workshop facilitation, and career exploration” said Pam Reid, AVPRIDE’s executive director.

“As we strive to elevate youth voice in Fayette County, Panasonic’s partnership and personnel resources will be instrumental in helping us to open doors and opportunities for our young people.”
