THE CHANGEMAKERS
Deborah Hioutis T H E
E D U C A T OR
BY JONATHAN DESMARAIS MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
Within only a few minutes of meeting her, it is easy to recognize that Deborah Hioutis is passionate about three things; supporting the English Learning (EL) students and families of the York City School District, equal access to resources across York County, and the empowerment of women. She truly is an agent of change in York County. Before moving to York County as a high school senior, Hioutis spent time growing up in New York City, Michigan, and California. Along the way, Hioutis, who is of Peruvian descent and fluent in Spanish, was able to gain firsthand knowledge of the experiences that English Learners (EL) encounter in the public school system, that now informs her decision-making as the York City School District’s Special Programs Coordinator. Overseeing an office staff of three, numerous interpreters/translators, support staff, and educators, her day-to-day has more than its fair share of responsibilities, but she never loses sight of what she values the most; York City’s 1,700 EL students and their families. Using a differentiated approach to learning, Hioutis works with each of the families and students to help them find success. Whether it’s the creation of a multi-language “how to” YouTube series at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing evening EL classes for parents, or the intentional hiring of office staff who are equipped to connect with the families on a personal level, her passion is clear.
“For me, it’s all about empowerment− Empowerment of my students, their families, and women in our community, so that they all have a voice.” -D EBORAH
HIOUT IS -
But her passion for supporting EL populations doesn’t stop at the city line. Hioutis has also provided support to families in neighboring school districts who have been left feeling unsupported. Long-term, she would love to see York develop a county-wide office in support of EL students and families, regardless of district. Hioutis’s three grown daughters, ages 24, 21, and 19 are her pride and joy. Their driven and independent spirit is testament to her passion for empowering women. How did she do it? “Always pushing issues to uncomfortable levels,” she explains. Every year, she travels to Lima, Peru and also makes times to visit her family’s village of Mantaro, located 11,000 feet above sea level, to connect with her heritage, looking to pass it on to her three daughters. Without a doubt, York County is a better place because of changemakers like Deborah Hioutis.

Wayne Sweeney T HE
E N T H U SI AS T
BY KATIE MAHONEY I VICE PRESIDENT, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS Before Wayne Sweeney formed H.O.O.D., he himself was one of the at-risk youths in the City of York. H.O.O.D. stands for “Helping Offer Options & Direction” and works with City youth and hosts community events to have positive outlets and impact. “Positive things and people come out of the ‘hood,’” says Wayne. “It isn’t about a name to me though, I just wanted to give back to my community, be a positive light after being a negative one, and change my life at the same time.” H.O.O.D. started over ten years ago with a group of people, and is mostly known for putting together Trey & Boo Classic basketball tournament, but that’s just the beginning.
“Positive things and people come out of the ‘hood.’ It isn’t about a name to me though, I just wanted to give back to my community, be a positive light after being a negative one, and change my life at the same time.” -W A Y N E
S W E E N E Y-
The meaning of Trey & Boo is deep for Wayne. “It represents the point of where I started to change my life around,” he shares. In 2007, his younger cousin Richard “Boo” Banks was killed. “I woke up that day, and I started to change my life around piece by piece. I told myself that I gotta be better, or it was going to be me next. I felt I was a worse individual than he was. But somehow God kept me here so while here I have to make an impact. Week to week, month to month, year to year, I started to do different.” And that he has. Trey & Boo expands into different states, and Wayne also launched a football tournament as well to honor his nephew, Da'Keem "Keemie" Dennsion. The tournament is known as BLIK, “Ball Like I’m Keemie.” Wayne also is president of the York Bears Youth Football team, coordinating 100+ kids from York. He is the assistant director for BYC youth basketball as well as many other things. When asked what inspires him it’s clear, “The kids,” Wayne answers. “They are so much a part of my life. Some of these kids are in high school now that I coached, mentored, or just been a positive male role model to, and I’ve been around them since they were 6 years old. Some even going off to college so it’s dope to see.” York City has a huge football and basketball base, similar to a lot of urban cities. “They are the breath of fresh air. We’re just creating change – a lot of it is through sports,” adds Wayne. Though athletics is a huge footprint Wayne is making in the York Community, a couple of his proudest moments are the Thanksgiving & Christmas Dinners and Toy Drives for the homeless, and anyone in the community. “You don’t really realize how many less fortunate people are out there, until you have an event like that,” says Wayne. “Sometimes things happen and people run into unfortunate situations. We just want to help where we can.” Wayne was raised in Parkway, a small neighborhood in the city, where he was raised on the value of sticking together and looking out for each other. “I don’t look at anybody any type of way that may need help, I can need help tomorrow!”

Q
HOW CAN YORK SUPPORT YOU & YOUR WORK?
A: I just want to show love to everyone in the community who is actually putting forth effort. To the City and the business owners – continue to play a part in the community. Listen to those in the city that are doing things and give back. The youth organizations always need support. Guys like myself have great ideas, we just need a little support sometimes. That support can mean showing a person like myself the ropes or financial support; sometimes it’s just being a supporter and being open to plans and ideas that can make things greater in our city. If a kid doesn’t have the money to sign up for a sport, a class, or whatever it is they are doing, I should be able to go to a local business and ask them to sponsor that kid.
THE THE CHANGEMAKERS CHANGEMAKERS
Dolka Lugo T H E L I FET I M E CH A N G EM A K E R BY KATIE MAHONEY I VICE PRESIDENT, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS “Do the Extra.” Thirty-four years ago, Dolka Lugo came to York, and that mantra has guided her work, and her impact in the community. She started with WellSpan just a year after she arrived here, and has been dedicated to providing interpreting services to WellSpan patients in the full-service area. As York County and Downtown York continue to grow and welcome all to live and work here, interpretation services, especially among the Spanish-speaking community, have been increasingly vital. This is even more true in the healthcare industry – the exact opportunity Dolka has focused her passion, and talent. “I came here to learn English, and planned to return to Puerto Rico after that, but then I fell in love with York,” said Dolka. With her husband and two kids, they decided to call York a permanent home, and purchased a house a few months later. “The people were friendly when we came here,” she shares, “And it felt like my hometown in Puerto Rico. Plus the weather, I love winter.” Dolka attributes the WellSpan community and her church, Community of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, as the reasons she is passionate about her work. “I see my patients at WellSpan, and then at Church, too. WellSpan gave me the opportunity to work with people, and that is my passion. I see the Spanish speaking people that struggle with the language, and WellSpan gave me the opportunity to help them, help them have everything they need and all the facts.”

Q
WHAT DOES “CHANGEMAKER” MEAN TO YOU?
A: I believe it’s when you try to make something different. We help people every day, but if we can do the extra things, get out of the box, be in that person’s shoes. Do the extra. That’s what makes me feel good at the end of the day, I go home and say I did something for someone who was really in need. And we need to LOOK at people. Sometimes we walk by and we see people but we don’t actually look at them. Maybe they’re homeless, or looking for a dollar. We don’t know if they ate that day. I give the money. We need to see those people. That makes a difference.
Dolka’s dedication to assisting with interpreting services and interpreters has only increased in her time with WellSpan, as the need continues to grow. Now, she schedules interpreters system-wide, with up to 600 visits some days, either faceto-face or via video. “Carmen Bones, back in the day, was my role model and inspiration to pursue the Spanish interpreter position at WellSpan.” In speaking with Dolka, it is evident she loves her work. “I’m very proud of WellSpan and everything they do for their patients,” she shares. “I can see how they help people, where others don’t. In Puerto Rico, if you don’t have money, you don’t have healthcare. WellSpan works with their patients.” Over the years Dolka has been involved in numerous boards and organizations, but now focuses on work and her church. When not there, her family enjoys El Rodeo or Fiesta Mexicana, where they celebrate birthdays, graduations, and important things.

BUILDER
BY MARLENA SCHUGT | BUSINESS SOLUTIONS COORDINATOR
Lisa Kennedy’s passion shines as an advocate for greater mental health awareness in communities of color, but her work doesn’t stop there. Her heart and beliefs have led to roles including: Family Resource Partner at the York County Department of Human Services, School Board Director of The School District of the City of York, Chair of the York County Community Foundation’s Racial Equity Fund Committee, Board President of Hope Street Learning Lab, Confronting Racism Coalition member, Co-Chair of PA South Central Citizen Review Panel, Board Secretary of West York Trinity Youth Center, and Co-Chair of Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12 Local Task Force. “My heart and passion has been about service for a number of years,” shares Lisa. “I became a foster parent in my mid- to late-twenties and that’s where my love of service really began,” After fostering, her service grew into the school setting and throughout other areas of her community. “I’ve continued to really love the idea of service and the importance of giving back,” shares Lisa. Originally from New York City, Lisa relocated to York when she was a child. Going away for college, she hadn’t planned to return to the area, however the desire to help others in her community was drawing her to be in York. “Having encountered many others like myself who have had opportunities, I wanted to make sure that I reached back and brought somebody else along,” she says. “That’s my reason for staying now, for each one to teach one.” Lisa remains here because she believes “there is so much to be done.”

York remains a source of inspiration for Lisa, as she connects with others in the community who are on a similar journey and share her passion and heart for serving. “It is infectious when you encounter people who really see the need and have a desire to want to do something for other people,” she says. “I had the pleasure of meeting so many interesting folks along the way and it’s in that expanding your territory that you really reap the benefits.” Even though she chose to remain in York, she feels her reach is well beyond through the connections and relationships she makes. I see barriers and push for opportunities, and I don’t take no for answer. And that’s how I see the changemaker-it’s not about me,” says Lisa. “Only what I do for others and for Christ matters.” Lisa believes that “to whom much is given, much is required,” and rather than looking for a reward, it’s about giving to others and feeling rewarded when others have their “lightbulb moment” or take their next steps. She reaffirms, “I just love the idea of serving others and giving back. There is value in it. It helps to build character.”

SPECIAL FEATURE
CENTRAL YORK SCHOOL DISTRICT STUDENT ACTIVISTS BY JJ SHEFFER | DIRECTOR, COMMUNITY PROGRAMS Students at Central York School District have been lauded in national news for their activism in response to the school board putting a “freeze” on a list of books featuring characters of color and themes of antiracism and empathy. The list, developed by the district’s diversity committee in the wake of George Floyd’s death and the unrest that followed, was meant to be a resource for educators and students looking for books on these themes. The school board banned the entire list in late 2020, until the board itself could review the books. The story made national news when they still hadn’t reviewed the list in September 2021 and opted to continue the ban. While the book ban brought negative attention to York
Q
WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF FROM THIS EXPERIENCE?
A: “I am most proud of the fact that we have been able to make a change. I believe that throughout our work, we not only brought the community together, but we helped the school grow and improve to include more diversity and representation.” - RENEE ELLIS, GRADE 11
Q
WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM YOUR RECENT ACTIVISM? HOW WILL YOU APPLY WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED MOVING FORWARD?
A: “Something that we are constantly being told as young people is that our voices are irrelevant, unable to make a difference, and unable to be truly heard. This experience has taught us that our voices really do matter and we can make a difference. We hope speaking up and being heard across the world will help young people see that their voice really is important.” - OLIVIA PITUCH, GRADE 12
County, the heroes of the story became the students who staged daily protests before school and spoke out about it. They have appeared on CNN, NPR’s All Things Considered, spoke at a press conference organized by the PA Legislative Black Caucus at the Pennsylvania Capitol during Banned Books Week, and recently spoke on a Zoom call with Senator Bob Casey and Dr. Bernice King, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s daughter. Prompted by the backlash here in the community and around the world, the school board voted to unfreeze the resource list. We checked in with students from the Central York Panther Anti-Racist Union (PARU) to ask what they learned from the experience.
