Out of the Darkness: October Pride and Promise: Felicity Weir

Felicity, Vice President of Peer Leadership, gathered seven other LCCTC students to volunteer at the Out of the Darkness: Suicide Prevention Walk at the Downtown Riverwalk on September 16, 2017.  They helped pass out water bottles to walkers who were there to show support to family and friends who have lost a loved one to suicide.

Any time someone returned from their walk, our students rang the cowbell to support the walkers and to honor the memory of those who have left our world in such sorrow-filled circumstances. Our students helped with the setup and cleanup for supporting organizations including the Crisis Shelter, the Veterans Association, and UPMC Jameson.

LCCTC is proud of our students and the work they do to help in the community.

Additionally, Felicity is the Vice President of LCCTC’s SkillsUSA State Champion Opening and Closing team. She runs a non-profit support group for teens in troubled situations.  She is a co-editor of the LCCTC Eagle Blog, a member of National Technical Honor Society, the LCCTC Eagle Archers, and the yearbook club.  In her spare time, she works at Subway.
