What do you do at United Way of Central Minnesota?
I’m constantly learning something new, which is one of the things I love about my role. A big part of what I do is serve as a connector for the people and organizations across Central Minnesota who are creating, offering, and evaluating opportunities that benefit youth. I get to work with folks throughout different organizations and initiatives, act as a connection point, support program development, and ultimately help strengthen the network of services available to young people in our community.
What aspect of your role do you enjoy the most?
I genuinely love that every day is different and that I have the opportunity to learn more about our community. Much of what I get to do each day is connect with people who have such a deep passion for youth and creating opportunities for youth in our communities. There is something so genuinely special about being able to witness that passion make an impact.
