Josh, the son of Marcia Towers and Midge Lucas of Lancaster, is a member of NHS.

He hosted a German exchange student and, later that year, a Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) IVEP volunteer. He serves as a leader in his youth group at Community Mennonite Church of Lancaster. With the youth group, he participated in a week of service, which involved donating time to local nonprofits like the Lancaster County Food Hub, MCC material resource center, and Whipple Farm as well as completing small projects around the church. He also contributed items and volunteer time to a free yard sale that his church arranged to give low-income community members access to essential items like clothing. This past summer, Josh went on a mission trip with Highland Presbyterian Church to the Reformed Church in El Salvador, which has a longtime partnership with Highland. During the trip, Josh visited a school sponsored by the churches.
