Wilton Youth Council‘s new “Community Champion” program, part of its town-wide Wilton Coalition for Youth‘s “Wilton is Where You Belong” campaign, highlights one individual each month who makes a positive difference in the Wilton community and sets a model for others to get connected in the same way. Candidates are nominated by community members by submitting a brief online nominating form; nominations are reviewed and selected monthly by Coalition members. The Coalition has partnered with GOOD Morning Wilton to announce each month’s Community Champion.
Congratulations to Wilton resident Lisa Roman on being named the Wilton Coalition for Youth’s February 2025 Community Champion, as part of the #WiltonIsWhereYouBelong campaign. Community Champions are honored for their positive influence, work or commitment to the Wilton community.
Roman is the vice president of the Board of Directors of Stay At Home in Wilton, an organization that offers seniors supportive services and resources, along with social and educational programs that unite its members as a community and enhance their efforts to remain independent, active and connected. One nominee noted that “Lisa’s efforts and leadership are making a huge impact in the Wilton community.”
The Wilton Coalition for Youth is made up of a myriad of organizations, town departments and individuals who serve youth and families in Wilton. These organizations are working together to coordinate efforts aimed at preventing substance misuse and promoting the mental health and emotional well-being of Wilton’s youth and families. The effort is spearheaded by the Wilton Youth Council.
