Episode #6 - Kristy Collins

In Episode #6 of Community Builders,  we sit down with Kristy Collins, who serves as the Executive Director of Hillel of Chico and as a Program Coordinator for the Stop-The-Hate initiative. Kristy shares her journey from a background in food science to leading one of the largest student organizations at Chico State, which provides an inclusive community for Jewish students from both Chico State and Butte College.

Throughout the episode, Kristy discusses her dual role in fostering community engagement and support. As a leader at Hillel, she focuses on cultural engagement and professional development, while her work with Stop-The-Hate addresses critical issues like bullying and discrimination in the community. She reflects on her personal and professional experiences that motivate her commitment to enhancing student life and broader community involvement through these impactful initiatives.

Tune in for an insightful conversation about the challenges of nonprofit leadership, the importance of cultural and support centers in higher education, and how proactive community service can significantly impact students' lives and societal well-being.
