Joe Wright wants to be more involved in youth mentoring and help provide leadership for a local organization that serves young people.
“I want to make a difference in my community,” said Wright, who works at Novelis and is an assistant football coach at Terre Haute North Vigo High School.
He hopes his participation in a United Way of the Wabash Valley Black leadership institute helps him achieve those goals.
Wright is one of 19 members who make up the inaugural cohort of the African American Board Leadership Institute (AABLI). United Way hosted a well-attended celebration event at the Ohio Building Thursday.
The goal of the new program is to increase the number and broaden the participation of Blacks in leadership roles in the Wabash Valley. The group met from February through July.
