Reconnection Hubs are community assets that coordinate services to help youth as they reconnect back to employment or education. Hubs are safe places where there is no judgement and human relationships for navigation and referrals to become reconnected.

Severson Dells Nature Center is one of six partners in the 815 Outside initiative. 815 Outside provides two resources to help people find their place to get outside in Winnebago County. The first is the 815 Outside website and the second is the 815 Outside Facebook page. There is a growing body of research that shows the positive mental and physical health benefits of spending time in nature and Winnebago County is fortunate enough to have almost 20,000 acres of publicly accessible green space.

Wings to Dreams

Wings to Dreams - 4:35
The 2019 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook projects that 804,000 new civil aviation pilots, 769,000 new maintenance technicians, and 914,000 new cabin crew will be needed to fly and maintain the world fleet over the next 20 years. That's double the current workforce. And guess what? These numbers do not include airport jobs, professional support services and a score of other related, STEM employment opportunities. Tammera Holmes' mission is to diversify the nation's aviation industry. Less than 2% of airline pilots flying today are African American, and just over 3% are female. African Americans and Hispanics represent only 11% of STEM employees, though they comprise nearly 30% of the American workforce. In Chicago, area schools are facing teacher strikes, dismal high school graduation rates and a fiscally-strapped State of Illinois. Incorporating STEM and Aerospace in the classroom would be difficult in this already struggling school system. Tammera's organization AeroStar has committed to providing aviation education and aerospace education to all ages, creating the most ambitious industry talent pipeline strategy for the US in decades.
