Difference Makers
Difference Makers is an engaging after-school program presented by Save Our Children of Elyria that introduces students to multiple career paths and provides a platform for professionals from diverse fields to share their stories. Through interactive discussions and activities, participants will gain insight into why these individuals chose their respective careers, how they
help others in their daily work, and the importance of education or trade school in achieving their goals.
Our presenters come from a range of industries, including healthcare, education, law enforcement, business, and the arts, among others. Each presenter brings their unique perspective to the table, sharing their personal journey and the challenges they faced along the way. By hearing from these successful professionals, students will be inspired to dream big and pursue
their passions. In addition to sharing their stories, our presenters will offer three recommendations for future participants looking to follow in their footsteps. These recommendations will provide actionable steps that students can take to prepare for their desired career path, including the importance of networking, developing key skills, and seeking out educational opportunities.
Difference Makers is an excellent opportunity for students to explore various career paths and gain valuable insights from professionals who are making a difference in their respective fields.

The Yost Construction House Project stemmed from our Difference Makers Program. Bob Yost and Lindsay Bott are 2 of our Difference Makers. They came in and shared their stories with the students and the success of where they are today. The students were enamored with the business that they were given the opportunity to design a house from start to finish.
Yost Construction: Together with the middle school students of the Save our Children program in Elyria, we built this house. The kids participated in selecting the plan, learning about different trades, a bit about pricing and financing, making all of the selections for the home, touring the property during construction and at completion! The coolest part is all profits from the sale of this home went back to the Save Our Children program! Thanks to generosity of all of subtrades and suppliers, many materials were donated and much of their time! Difference Makers Veronica Gadson & Holly Mlincek
