Manheim Township
LCSA Seeks to Put Graduates to Work
BY JEFF FALK
Preparing local students to be valuable employees in an ever-changing work climate is not a job for one individual, one group or even one institution.
It takes an alliance. It takes a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) alliance. It takes Lancaster County STEM Alliance (LCSA).
“In the business community, there was a lot of talk that students were graduating and needed to be totally trained,” said Lauren Miller, a Manheim Township resident who is the executive director of LCSA.
“We saw that the teachers were working their tails off, so there was this disconnect. We needed to be aligned. We didn’t want our talent to grow here and then leave because they didn’t think there were career opportunities here. The business world is changing so much and so quickly that we still need to have these tricky conversations.”
Headquartered at 23 E. King St., Lancaster, LCSA is a consortium dedicated to helping Lancaster County students to become workforce ready by the time they graduate from high school. The organization’s 25-member advisory board meets four times each year to brainstorm, analyze data,

Matt Dorgan took heartbreak and turned it into hope and healing. On Dec. 3, 2020, his 15-yearold daughter, Brianna, died by suicide after a long struggle with mental health.
“Her passing shook us to our core,” he said, noting that close friends rallied around him but he knew he could not just simply move on. “As we shared our grief, we realized a painful truth: Every one of us had lost someone we loved to mental illness. And now, we had lost Brianna. We knew something had to change. We had to do something.”
In those first raw moments of heartbreak, the idea for a mental health festival was born, he recalled.
“We wanted to raise money, yes, but more than that, we wanted to raise awareness and build a real support network for those in crisis,” Dorgan shared. “Then came the words that changed everything: ‘We need to build the bridge.’ And just as quickly, someone shouted back, ‘For Brianna!’”

In Amish society, a greater emphasis is placed on community, and there’s less focus on individuality. But Amish folks entertain many of the same life goals and aspirations as their Lancaster neighbors.
Like many areas in the county, Amish history in Manheim Township continues to unfold.
Elizabethtown College professor
Steve Nolt will highlight the cultural differences and similarities between the Amish and the English during his upcoming presentation.
“In the United States, there has been this pervasive myth of assimilation,” said Nolt, who’s been the director of Elizabethtown College’s Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies for five years. “There are groups that have remained distinctive. With the Amish, there’s a curiosity, like
Just weeks after Brianna’s death, on Dec. 27, 2020, Building Bridges for Brianna began.
“Since that day, we’ve been committed to knocking down barriers to mental health care,” Dorgan explained. “When we see a wall in services, we don’t walk away. We find a way over it, around it, under it or straight through it.”
Describing his daughter, Dorgan noted that he could talk forever.
“Brianna was an incredible soul - kind, compassionate and full of love for people and animals alike,” he remarked.
Church To Host Yard Sale
A one-stop yard sale with multiple vendors will be held rain or shine at Faith United Methodist Church (UMC), 1290 Fruitville Pike, Lititz, on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visitors should use the driveway entrance off Koser Road.
There are open yard sale spaces available for rent on the grass for a set cost per space. Preregistration is required by visiting www.Faithumc .us and choosing “Events & Activities” or by contacting 717-696-5321. Payment will be due on the day of the event.
After browsing through the garage sale stands, shoppers may stop in at the Church Welcome Center and stock up on gently used books and puzzles.
The event helps to support the continuing ministries of Faith UMC.
Building Bridges
Born in Key West, Fla., Brianna soon demonstrated a desire to help others, Dorgan said, sharing stories of Brianna’s giving spirit.
A passionate animal lover, Brianna constantly lobbied to turn her home into a zoo, her father joked, noting that she wanted a monkey or a pig as a pet but happily settled for a pet dog, Emma, who she brought home just one week before her death.
An eighth-grader at Dallastown Area School District when she died, Brianna had a close-knit group of friends.
Dorgan, who works full time as a probation officer for the County of York in addition to running the nonprofit, emphasized the organization works hard to provide care quickly, eliminating the red tape that can cause months-long delays via traditional routes to help.
Community support is needed in a variety of ways, from donating funds to volunteering, attending events or simply being there for someone who’s struggling.
The organization’s signature event, the Bridge Building Festival, is held every September in honor of Suicide Prevention Month. This year’s festival will take place on Saturday, Sept. 20, at Dallastown Community Park, 50 S. School Place.
While cleaning her room after she passed, Dorgan found a simple white T-shirt with a powerful message: “Keep Fight;ing! I Believe in You You are a Star.” The semicolon and phrasing were exactly how Brianna wrote it, he said.
Historic Rock Ford Receives Grant
The Rock Ford Foundation has been awarded a $15,000 grant from the Lancaster County Community Foundation’s John J. Snyder, Jr. Fund for Historic Preservation. This grant is part of a total of $317,200 awarded in 2025 to support the efforts of 18 community initiatives
See Grant pg 6
“That message - raw, honest and filled with hope - has become the motto of Building Bridges for Brianna,” Dorgan commented. “It speaks not just to who Brianna was, but to the mission she unknowingly helped create: to remind people that they are not alone and they are worthy of love, support and healing.”
Building Bridges for Brianna, which serves all of Pennsylvania, held its first mental health festival in June of 2021. More than 1,500 people attended. Dorgan remembers open conversations about mental health and organizations completing real-time intakes and scheduling therapy sessions on the spot.
“That night, I spent nearly two hours answering emails, messages and phone calls from people thanking us for creating a space like that,” he said. “That was the moment we knew this couldn’t be just one event. It had to become a
“What started in 2021 with 35 vendors and 1,500 attendees has grown into a vibrant, community-powered event with over 100 vendors and more than 5,000 attendees,” Dorgan said. “The festival includes music, food trucks, local vendors, mental health organizations and a powerful sense of shared purpose.”
Also every September, the organization leads a Purple Light Campaign to raise awareness of suicide prevention, encouraging people to change their outdoor lights to purple ones to reflect one of the movement’s official colors.
Although the festival is the organization’s biggest event, Dorgan emphasized that the nonprofit works year-round to promote positive mental health.
“Mental health isn’t a one-time conversation. It’s an everyday commitment. And we’re here, year-round, building the bridge between pain and healing, isolation and community, hopelessness and hope,” Dorgan said. “Brianna’s legacy is the bridge we’re building: one that connects people to the help, hope and healing they deserve.”

The organization soon became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and began paying for co-pays; providing coping tools; offering Question, Persuade, Refer prevention training; and speaking publicly about mental health. Still, Dorgan always believed he could do more.
In its third year, the organization received a donation that helped to open the first office, hire licensed social workers and therapists and offer free or reduced-cost mental health care. Within six months, the organization had outgrown the space.
Moving into a much larger office, the organization continued to grow.
“Since opening the new center, we’ve helped more than 400 people in our community get the mental health support they need,” Dorgan said of the headquarters located in Dallastown.

‘Why?’ The American ideology thinks that shouldn’t be so. The Amish also draw some lines, draw some boundaries with their use of technology. I think that’s something else people find curious.”
As part of the Manheim Township Historical Society’s ongoing educational initiative, Nolt will speak on the history and current cultures of Amish communities in Manheim Township at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the historic Stoner House, 601 Granite Run Drive, Lancaster. The event is free to attend, no registration is required, and light refreshments will be provided.
“Some of the misconceptions that people have about the Amish are they don’t change, or the Amish are all the same, or that the Amish are all farmers or that the Amish don’t pay taxes, all of which is not the case,” said Nolt. “Amish people don’t accept Social Security benefits. They rely on their church to take care of the elderly. People here in Lancaster County who have Amish neighbors may have some of these misconceptions.”
Nolt’s informative, engaging and educational talk will last about 45 minutes. It will be followed by a 15-minute question-and-answer period.
“I’m assuming they’re people who are interested in history and local history. They may be connected to the Manheim Township Historical Society,” said Nolt of his audience. “I would hope people would come with a sense of curiosity, whether they know their Amish neighbors well or not. I think there will be a lot of local expertise in the room. For audiences like this, I’ll have notes, but I don’t read text. I usually have illustrations
and photos with the talk. I think that’s useful to connect with people.”
“(The Amish are) a historical group, so I’ll talk about their early history in Manheim Township,” continued Nolt. “I just want to inform people about the Amish history in Lancaster County. I also want to try to help with the understanding of who our Amish neighbors are today. Only about one out of three of our Amish neighbors are in farming today.”
According to the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies, Lancaster County is home to the largest concentration of Amish people in America. The Lancaster County Amish settlement, which includes portions of western Chester County, includes 44,765 residents.
A total of 404,575 Amish people reside in the United States.
The history of the Amish in Manheim Township can be traced to the 1730s.
“Some of the earliest Amish in Lancaster County lived in Manheim Township,” said Nolt, a Lancaster city resident. “There were several Amish households located in what is now Manheim Township in the 1730s. Before and after the American Revolution, there was some movement. Later, you have growth and expansion of the Amish population. Over time, as the Amish community expanded, they moved back into Manheim Township.”
Nolt has been performing Amish-related research for more than 30 years, some of which came during his time living in
the Midwest. That experience has provided him with a heightened sense of perspective.
“Because the Amish have been here so long, they’re very much a part of Lancaster history, and I think I see examples of their integration into the community,” said Nolt. “There have certainly been times of tension between the Amish people and their neighbors. But, for the most part over the last 75 years, the history has been fairly positive.”

set goals and implement policies.
“To collectively impact, that’s been the whole purpose of why we exist,” said Miller. “No one person can solve our workforce challenges. That’s where the power happens. We say, ‘Join the movement.’ No one organization has all the resources or all the answers. We have to be leveraging each other’s strengths.”
Each September LCSA conducts its Workforce 2030 Summit, an annual conference designed to make Lancaster County a workready community by 2030. This year, more than 250 educators, business leaders, representatives of nonprofits and community partners attended.
LCSA also engages in grant-giving, programs, projects and learning platforms like apprenticeships, internships, job shadowing, company tours and mentoring.
“To me, the term STEM is all about creative thinking, problem-solving and all the things that make you successful in the workplace,” said Miller. “It’s the Lancaster County STEM Alliance’s belief that all Lancaster County
students should be graduating with basic STEM skills. STEM jobs pay well, and the demand for them is growing.”
LCSA is a collaborative network of dozens of local organizations similar to the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, Lancaster-Lebanon IU13 and the United Way of Lancaster County. LCSA also works closely with the county’s 16 public school districts and 15 non-public schools located in Lancaster County.
“We’re hyper-focused on Lancaster County,” said Miller. “I think the people who are involved with the Lancaster County STEM Alliance are civically minded community leaders who are committed to Lancaster County residents having life-sustaining wages. They want to make Lancaster better. They’re willing to invest their capital and resources to ensure people have jobs that are meaningful.”
In 2024, 23,000 individuals participated in LCSA programs.
“We’ve always needed essential life skills,” said Miller. “But work has become more technology driven. The world of work is no longer factory based, and work has required us to do more thinking. Jobs look very different today.”
Miller and foundation program coordinator Andrew Garner make up LCSA’s two-employee staff, but the organization relies heavily on the contributions of numerous volunteers. LCSA’s work is almost entirely funded through the Steinman Foundation, whose mission is to ensure quality of life for all the citizens of Lancaster County.
“We have a committed group of people who are trying to prepare the workforce of tomorrow,” said Miller. “It’s not just the sole responsibility of parents or educators to prepare the new generation for work. We all play a critical role in a student’s education. We really need the community to open doors to the education system.” LCSA was established in 2015. A year later, the organization was recognized nationally as a STEM ecosystem.
“I think a large majority of the community doesn’t even know we exist,” said Miller. “But we have definitely grown quite a bit over the last three years. We’re only as strong as the network of people who are supporting us. There are a lot of ways to get involved in the Lancaster County STEM Alliance.” For additional information, go to www.lancasterstem.org.
