Stamper is a Penn Foster College Graduate majoring in graphic design. She holds certifications in fitness and nutrition, and eMarketing.

Stamper will be leading all activities related to direct community impact for the local branch of United Way, including the Getting Ahead Program and Bridges out of Poverty. 

Bridges out of Poverty is described as a powerful model for economic and social change, sustainability and stability. The program provides benefits across the community by helping employers, higher education, community organizations, social service agencies, hospitals and individuals facing economic and resource instability.  

One part of the program focuses on working with professionals in the community to educate them on poverty and how to support employees, clients, students and neighbors who are experiencing poverty. 

The Getting Ahead program works directly with people in poverty to examine the effects that poverty has on their lives and help them identify resources to break the cycle of poverty. Individuals are typically referred to Getting Ahead through other human service organizations in the community.
