Turning Struggles Into Success: The Power of Community with Sterling Wilder

Hosted by Haleigh Ryan Hurst | Miss Virginia Volunteer 2025

What happens when a single idea — giving kids a place to dream — grows into a movement that transforms an entire community?
In this powerful episode, Haleigh sits down with Sterling Wilder, founder and Executive Director of the Jubilee Family Development Center, to explore how hope, opportunity, and belief in young people can change lives forever.

Sterling shares:
His inspiring journey from church youth leader to community changemaker
How Jubilee grew into a thriving hub for education, athletics, and career development
The life-changing success stories of students who overcame poverty and hardship
The deep impact of Jubilee’s partnership with Miss Virginia Volunteer and the Butterfly Princess program
His vision for the future: expanding STEM programs and breaking the cycle of poverty

This isn’t just a story about a center — it’s about what happens when a community refuses to let its kids be left behind.
