    "For the 15% of the U.S. population living in rural areas, transportation is inefficient, unaffordable, inaccessible, and unsustainable." For decades, Blueprints has been working with our community to address one of the most common barriers to people thriving - transportation. Check out our latest effort - a collaboration between Waynesburg University, Carnegie Mellon University, and Blueprints that created a pilot transportation program in Greene County, PA thanks to funding from the Department of Energy.

    Congratulations to our very own Jamie Weaver! Jamie was recently certified and licensed as a Blueprints Trauma Trainer through the Lakeside Global Institute. Jamie first successfully completed the Lakeside Global Institute Trauma Training and then finished a comprehensive 10 session training to become certified to train others. Jamie is now able to train Blueprints staff in trauma informed care to continue Breaking Barriers and Building Futures! Our line of work isn't always easy, but our staff certainly make it look effortless with their tireless dedication and passion for people, community, and being of service.

    Call us biased, but our staff really are the best. Inspire Greene is an intensive, 10-week community builder and leadership course. As a long-standing community icon, Amy was a natural fit for this program. Even further - her team won the Community Impact Project of the Year Award! Way to go Amy!

    May is Community Action Month, a celebration of the movement. Blueprints is the community action agency for Washington and Greene Counties, and I’d like to take a pause to appreciate community action agencies (CAA’s) for their significance to our world. Community action is everywhere. Every CAA is different; some provide shelter services, Head Start, WIC, housing assistance, mental health services, food security services, transportation, child care, foster care and adoption, or any combination thereof. We inspire people to dream big, to overcome challenges and develop and pursue a future story where they can thrive. At Blueprints, we Break Barriers and Build Futures. Those who work for Blueprints are the inspiration for those who struggle in our community. We live the promise of community action every day. Community action has significantly impacted communities since 1965, and we are still going strong. Last year, Blueprints touched the lives of 21,494 people in our community. This month, we celebrate what was started so long ago.   Join us on a journey this month to see how we help to #breakbarriersbuildfutures in our communities.   Visit us online for more information: www.myblueprints.org   #CommunityActionMonth #communityaction
