(Ripley County, Ind.) - Genesis: Pathways to Success (GPS) Director, Cheryll Obendorf, will step down from the Director’s position on March 1, 2021, after nearly 13 years as the leader of one of the Ripley County Community Foundation’s key initiatives. During her tenure, GPS has been recognized for its leadership across a wide range of key education, workforce, and community development initiatives and has leveraged over $4.2 million into education and workforce development since 2008.
“I am proud of the collaboration and partnerships that have resulted in an extraordinary amount of success since this initiative started,” Obendorf said. “The best part of my role has been seeing students become engaged in STEM through our many projects and programs and knowing that they have learned skills that will help them be successful in life.”

THE full list of mental health services receiving £50,000 in grants has been released. In October last year, Basildon Council launched a mental health fund, and it has now selected and awarded more than £50,000 worth of grants to twelve organisations. The one off grants of up to £5,000 were available to voluntary and community sector organisations to support mental health projects, training and professional development, improving organisational infrastructure, or supporting staff salaries and volunteer expenses. One of the grant recipients are the Craig Tyler Trust, who with the funding will launch a mobile mental health support unit - allowing the trust to be present in different areas across the borough and be available to support a wider range of residents.
