We nurture the skills, self-awareness, & confidence of students to become social impact leaders
Our Leaders in Action Nourish International students at Miami University serve as an exemplar of leadership in action during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Students put their personal concerns and challenges to the side to acknowledge the dire need for sustainable practices, volunteers and funding to address food insecurity within the Oxford, OH community. These Nourishers developed a response plan focused on a multifaceted approach to support not just one, but three community based agencies. They structured a giving plan and donated $8,000 of their chapter earnings to three partner organizations. Nourish students also established an ongoing communications plan with the agency program directors for continuous needs assessment. The Nourish staff provided the coaching and skill development the students needed to move concepts to action, effectively communicate, creatively problem solve, and quickly address an immediate community need in collaboration with community partners. |

" Nourish changed my life. I am a confident, conscious, community-oriented leader because of my Nourish experience.
Nourish helped me transform & my life altered drastically. Before I found Nourish, I was on track to live a life defined by my education & employment status; I was working 80 hours a week between 2 jobs & 5 classes each term. I became the grumpiest person around & I lost all of my zest for life. I was in a deep depression. School & work weren’t fulfilling & they weren’t holistically engaging; I wasn't sustaining, I was neglecting, my whole-self. Nourish gave my whole-self an opportunity to show up everyday. I was able to work hard, gain leadership experience, build my resume, expand my perspective, find genuinely inspiring community, & make an impact. I leveraged my Nourish experience to ease the stress around post-grad plans & inspire myself to be enthusiastic about life again.”
