Brittany Thompson researched, organized, recruited, and supported new programs to link UNH with Somersworth Youth Safe Haven(SYHS), an underfunded after school program for children who live in the town’s public housing development. She efficiently mobilized over thirty UNH students to serve as mentors to the youth in the program.

Thanks to Campus Compact for all that you have done over the years to nurture the campus service and service-learning movement. When we started at St. A's 15 years ago there was a feeling among some campuses that we were seeing higher education's latest 'flash in the pan.' Instead it was the beginning of a revolution of ideas and relationships, and you guys have been fueling us all the way.
