Week 1: DONE ✅

Induction Week’s Carolina Gold Recipient: Natalie Peyton

Each week, we recognize one Corps Member with our R.I.C.E. Award, which stands for Rooted in Impact, Cultivating Excellence. We also honor this individual as “This Week’s Carolina Gold”—a symbol of value, resilience, and lasting impact, inspired by the historic rice that helped shape our region.

This week, we are proud to recognize Natalie Peyton as our R.I.C.E. Award recipient and Carolina Gold. Through her commitment, positive presence, and the leadership she has already demonstrated, Natalie embodies the spirit of this recognition. Her dedication to growth, service, and excellence has made a meaningful impact on those around her, and we are excited to celebrate all that she has accomplished and will continue to achieve. Congratulations, Natalie!
