Melri Wright

Melri has been working with youth and youth workers for more than 25 years. She is part of the team that directs Ledge Leadership, providing leadership training and experiences for youth and adults throughout the church and local community. Her leadership journey began just after high school when she participated in a year long volunteer leadership program traveling throughout Ontario working with youth and youth groups. During that year, Melri was challenged to live out her faith in practical and authentic ways and developed communication and relational skills that she continues to practice daily.

She is passionate about connecting with people and supporting them as they increase their self-awareness, skills, and confidence to engage and take leadership within their communities. Melri lives in Clarksburg with her husband Mike and loves any opportunity she has to sail and run in the area.
