CHAMP Advisor

Laura Hicks

My Name is Laura Hicks. I have been employed as the Adult Education Coordinator at the Huntingdon County Career and Technology Center since 2015. Prior to that I worked as the WIOA Youth Career Development Specialist for over 13 years. For over 10 years I have been the chairperson for the Youth Leadership Huntingdon County Program.

“My 'WHY' in life is to be the spark that ignites that lightbulb moment in young adults and just those around me in general. The lightbulb moment for me is when those individuals achieve greatness, then stop, take a deep breath, a moment of reflection, and realize 'I am capable of greatness because I just did something amazing'!”
