ONE Cedar Valley

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from ONE Cedar Valley!

As we close out the year, we’re filled with gratitude for our community, partners, and families who continue to believe in what’s possible when we work together.

This year, we deepened our impact through SHIPHT, supporting young people with career exposure, financial literacy, and pathways to opportunity; Road Home, helping adults remove barriers to meaningful employment; and The Hub, bringing service providers together to better support families and strengthen economic mobility across the Cedar Valley.

Because of you, lives were changed, pathways were opened, and momentum continues to grow.

As we look ahead, we’re energized for what’s coming next. 2026 is shaping up to be a powerful year—with expanded partnerships, deeper impact, and bold next steps toward a more connected, thriving Cedar Valley.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a bright, hopeful New Year. We can’t wait to build what’s next—together.

This summer, Karder had the chance to explore a future in agriculture by working with State Extension and Outreach and the Career Center

This opportunity was made possible through the generous support of the Northeast Iowa Workforce Development Board Summer Internship Program. 🙌

Karder is already excited to come back next year and to bring some friends along too!

✨ More stories from our amazing summer interns coming soon. Stay tuned!
