One of the greatest honors of the Community CHIME Award is that it allows us to pause—just for a moment—and recognize the people among us who quietly, and consistently make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.

Dirk Harkins does exactly that. Dirk is someone who creates space—real space—for the stories of others. In a world that often rushes past people or speaks over them, Dirk listens. And more than that, he amplifies. He builds platforms where voices are not only welcomed, but celebrated.

Dirk has an incredible way of highlighting what is extraordinary about people—especially when they may not see it in themselves. Through his work and advocacy, he has uplifted veterans, supported the disability community, and championed individuals from all walks of life. He does this not for recognition, but because he believes deeply in the dignity, worth, and potential of every person.

What makes Dirk’s impact so meaningful is that it is rooted in authenticity. His support is genuine. His advocacy is intentional. And his belief in people is unwavering. He reminds us that community isn’t built through grand gestures alone—it’s built through presence, empathy, and the willingness to make room for others to be seen and heard.

The CHIME Award stands for connection, inclusion, and meaningful engagement—and Dirk embodies all of those values. His work echoes far beyond individual moments; it creates ripples that strengthen our entire community.

Dirk, thank you for the way you show up. Thank you for honoring stories, for lifting others, and for reminding us all what it looks like to lead with heart.

It was our honor as the Pathways for Inclusion board to present Dirk Harkins with the first Community CHIME Award for Harrison County!

✨ Thank You for Making Our Family Resource & Navigation Fair So Meaningful ✨

We are incredibly grateful to all of the vendors and community partners who joined us the other night to connect, share resources, and pour into the families we serve. Your willingness to show up, collaborate, and support makes a real and lasting difference.

To the families who came out — thank you for trusting us, for engaging, and for being part of our Pathways community. It was wonderful to see connections happening in real time.

Because of this event:
• Four families found therapy solutions
• Providers connected for future community collaboration
• We welcomed a new family into our community
• And so much more that can’t always be measured

These are the moments that remind us why we do this work.

Impact matters. And at Pathways, we are deeply committed to creating meaningful impact for every family we serve.

Thank you for being part of it. 💙

Pathways for Inclusion is proud to announce Amelia Ault, sophomore at Edison High School, as the newest recipient of the Community CHIME Award, recognizing her exceptional leadership and commitment to creating inclusive opportunities within Jefferson County.

The Community CHIME Award was established by Pathways for Inclusion to recognize individuals who actively strengthen our community through Compassion, Heart, Inclusion, Mentorship, and Empowerment — the core values represented by “CHIME.” The award was created to spotlight everyday leaders — youth and adults alike — who see a need, take initiative, and work collaboratively to ensure all individuals, particularly those with disabilities, feel valued, welcomed, and included.

This recognition honors those who are not only passionate about inclusion, but who put that passion into meaningful action that creates lasting impact.

Amelia exemplifies these values through the creation of SOULS (Special Olympics Unified Livestock Show) for Jefferson County 4-H and FFA. (Special Olympics Unified Livestock Show - SOULS)

Inspired by her sister, Amelia recognized a lack of inclusive opportunities within the traditional 4-H livestock showing experience. Rather than accepting that gap, she envisioned something better — a program that would allow individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to participate fully in the livestock show environment alongside their peers.

SOULS is now a collaborative initiative involving Jefferson County 4-H, FFA organizations, the Special Olympics Unified Sports program, the Jefferson County Board of Developmental Disabilities, the Jefferson County Fair Board, and local school districts — a true community partnership built around inclusion.

In its inaugural year in 2024, the SOULS program paired exhibitors with intellectual or developmental disabilities with mentors from 4-H clubs and FFA organizations. These mentors guided participants through the livestock show process, helping build confidence, skills, friendships, and a sense of belonging. The program not only expanded access but also strengthened understanding and unity across youth organizations in the county.

Pathways for Inclusion had the honor of presenting Amelia with the Community CHIME Award during Edison High School’s Unified Basketball game last week against Indian Creek — a setting that perfectly reflected the spirit of inclusion and teamwork that Amelia champions. The event served as a powerful reminder that when communities come together, everyone benefits.

“Amelia embodies exactly why the Community CHIME Award exists,” said Amanda DeLuca. “She noticed who was missing, asked why, and worked tirelessly to create a solution that brings people together. Her leadership is creating ripple effects far beyond the livestock arena.”

Pathways for Inclusion is deeply honored to recognize Amelia Ault for her vision, determination, and unwavering belief that inclusion should never be optional — it should be the standard.

Congratulations Amelia!

(A continued thank you to Woodsfield Savings Bank for being our 2026 Community CHIME Award sponsor, thank you for helping us recognize these incredible individuals.)

Families, this one is for YOU 💚

This Thursday, Pathways for Inclusion is hosting our Family Resource & Navigation Fair, and we would love to see you there!

📍 Wallace Lodge – Cadiz, OH
🗓 Thursday, February 19
⏰ 6:00–8:00 PM

If you’ve ever wondered:
• What services are available in our area?
• How do I even start navigating therapies, supports, or financial planning?
• Who can I talk to about resources for my child, teen, or adult family member?

This night is designed with YOU in mind.

We are bringing together providers, therapists, disability-centered businesses, financial planners, and local non-profits all in one place so families can connect face-to-face, ask questions, and learn what supports are available right here in our community.

✨ One hour resource fair
✨ One hour provider roundtable discussion focused on navigating services locally

You’ll also hear more about what Pathways for Inclusion is doing to strengthen community partnerships and build a more connected, inclusive support network for families. We believe services shouldn’t feel scattered or overwhelming — they should feel accessible and collaborative.

Who would benefit from attending?
✔ Parents and caregivers of children with disabilities
✔ Families navigating a new diagnosis
✔ Grandparents or guardians raising loved ones
✔ Teens and adults with disabilities
✔ Anyone wanting to better understand local supports

And just to make the night even more exciting…

🎉 We are giving away a VIBRATION PLATE and a BUBBLE TUBE to one attendee — the perfect sensory room starter kit for your home or organization!

Come learn.
Come connect.
Come feel supported.

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone — and this Thursday is a great place to start. 💛
