Today marks a bittersweet moment for Kansas Youth Empowerment Academy as we bid farewell to our fearless leader, our Executive Director, Julia Connellis. Julia has dedicated 20+ years of her life to the KYEA mission, and the lives of so many youth have been changed because of her work. With gratitude, admiration, and heartfelt appreciation, we gather here to say goodbye for now, THANK YOU, and celebrate her remarkable journey.
Julia's tenure as our Executive Director has been extraordinary. Over these two decades, she has led our organization with unwavering dedication and infused it with her steadfast vision and passion. Her hard work and commitment to the KYEA mission, particularly her tireless advocacy for youth with disabilities, has touched countless lives and transformed our organization into the hugely impactful organization that it is today.
