What an incredible evening!
Last night, we welcomed supporters, community partners, volunteers, law enforcement officers, and friends to our annual MPAL Ambassador Leadership Dinner—and what a celebration it was.
The Ambassador Leadership Program, led by Caitlin Palmer, is designed to help teens build confidence, develop leadership skills, explore career opportunities, strengthen communication skills, and learn what it means to make a positive impact in their community. Throughout the year, these young leaders challenge themselves, volunteer, grow, and serve as role models for younger participants. Last night, we had the privilege of recognizing their hard work and accomplishments while sharing exciting news about the program's evolution into a year-round leadership experience beginning this fall.
A heartfelt thank you to The Common Man Roadside Millyard for their incredible generosity and partnership. Special thanks to Chef Nick Jacques and Chef Jarrod Bailey for mentoring our Ambassadors and preparing an outstanding three-course meal that made the evening truly memorable.
We are also grateful to the Manchester, NH Garden Club for donating the beautiful centerpieces that added so much warmth and elegance to the room.
Thank you to the members of the Manchester NH Police, the Hillsborough County NH Sheriff's Office, MPAL staff, volunteers, Board of Directors, and the many community members who attended and supported the event. Your presence and encouragement mean the world to our young people.
Most importantly, congratulations to our Ambassadors. We are proud of your growth, your leadership, and the positive example you set for others. The future is bright, and we can't wait to see what you accomplish next.
