Lawrence Glueck"Grit is living life like it's a marathon not a sprint."- Angela Duckworth

Moriah RogersMoriah joined CHC in August 2024. "In moving to the Lehigh Valley 18 years ago, I realized the need for community and mentorship among youth. I devoted my time volunteering in a local church leading a young adults program and participating as a mentor in a mentorship program, branching ideas through Church Women’s United where I was a board member. To further my knowledge of the needs of youth and women’s right, I was in yearly attendance to the Commission on the Status of Woman (CSW) at the United Nations as a contributor and participant. Most recently, I have been asked to be a keynote advisor to a growing non-profit geared toward the mental, emotional and physical health of Lehigh Valley youth. I am currently seeking a Bachelors Degree for Organizational Psychology. I hope that my experience and specific care for our participants reveal larger than me. I want to be impactful in small ripples that expand to greater cultural change." Email: mrogerschc@gmail.com
