Ashley

Ashley Welch is committed to serving the community and working diligently to improve the quality of life for Cleveland’s youth. She believes many people in underserved communities fail to understand the importance of developing the capacity for personal development and other essential skills that can help them overcome the various social, personal and economic challenges they face daily. To address this issue, she is directing a project that provides youth with personal development and career planning skills. Ashely also addresses trauma in her project using The Missing Link curriculum. Its mission is to aid in addressing trauma so our youth can ultimately lead healthy productive lives. Additionally, Ashley facilitates Mindfulness Meditation sessions that helps participants “focus on the now and live in the present” so they can walk a path towards a future filled with success, peace, and gratitude. Ashley has curated events such as Black Positivity Night and Mo Soul. She is a graduate of Baldwin Wallace University.
