To date, Dress for Success has helped 3,000 economically challenged women in Nepal.

Turning Point USA chapter could be coming to local colleges

(WBRE/WYOU)— In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, some local Republican students are coming together to pick up where the late political activist left off.

Students from two local universities are in the process of starting what could be the first chapters of Kirk's youth outreach group, Turning Point USA, in NEPA.

Both students I met with say that Kirk's conservative values are something they'd like to see more of on their respective campuses. Now, with the potential formation of the two Turning Point chapters, students and professors could have a chance to get involved.
