✨ FIND YOUR LIGHT CAMPAIGN ✨
This spotlight shines on Austin Papka of JCI Richland County, nominated by Shaylyne Fisher! 💙
Austin has been a Jaycee for just one year, but in that short time he has already made a tremendous impact on both the chapter and the community. Serving as the JCI Richland County Vice President, Austin has embraced every opportunity to get involved and help move the chapter forward.
From community events to chapter projects, Austin has stepped up to help with virtually everything we do. He is a strong advocate for bringing new events and opportunities to Richland County and has been especially passionate about ensuring our Flag Posting Program continues to thrive.
Austin was nominated because when someone asks, "Who can help?" or "Who can be there?" his name is almost always one of the first that comes to mind. In his first year as a Jaycee, he has gone above and beyond—not only as a member, but also as a board member and leader. Whether it's running a meeting when needed, co-chairing some of our biggest events, or volunteering wherever help is needed, Austin never hesitates to step up.
His dedication, reliability, and passion for giving back to the community have made him an invaluable part of JCI Richland County. We are incredibly grateful for the energy and leadership he brings to our chapter.
Thank you, Austin, for sharing your light and for always being willing to serve your community! 🌟
