What does it really mean to navigate life with limited financial resources?

Leadership Susquehanna Valley's Class of 2027 joined alumni and community members for an eye-opening Poverty Simulation facilitated by Central Susquehanna Opportunities, Inc.

Through this interactive experience, participants gained a deeper understanding of the challenges individuals and families living in poverty face every day—encouraging empathy, reflection, and more informed community leadership.

We're grateful to Central Susquehanna Opportunities and everyone who helped make this meaningful learning experience possible!

MILTON — A poverty simulation Thursday for 60 people offered a sobering look at how quickly financial struggles can spiral into eviction, legal trouble and other hardships.

✨ A few snapshots from an exciting start to the LSV Class of 2027!

Last week, our newest class spent time getting to know one another, building connections, stepping outside their comfort zones and kicking off a year of learning and leadership together.

From team activities and conversations to plenty of laughs along the way, the retreat was a great way to start the LSV journey. We can’t wait to see where this group goes from here!

📸 Class of 2027, see yourself in one of these photos? Tag yourself in the comments and let us know!

A big thank you to our retreat sponsors, Service 1st Federal Credit Union | Friends you can bank on. and Community Giving Foundation, for helping make this experience possible!
