Student part of mentorship group
A Columbus resident attending Ashland University is a member of a group geared toward individuals seeking to develop their own leadership skills and enhancing the lives of young girls through mentor relationships.
Katlin Meek, who is majoring in business administration, is a member of “1girl,” which seeks to work with middle school girls with the highest need from low income areas and who are at risk for delinquency, according to a news release. Meek is a 2017 graduate of Columbus North High School.
The group accomplishes its goal through after-school programs that use lessons focused on developing critical thinking, public speaking, problem solving, conflict resolution and goal setting skills, the release said. The organization also hosts workshops and events on campus to encourage leadership, improve professional skills and promote philanthropy among college women.
