Meet our Team!
How did you first become involved with Swift Youth Foundation? I learned about Swift Youth Foundation through Beth Marsh, Kaylie's mom. Why did you decide to more deeply support Swift and join the Board? My non-profit, Kids Who Care, was dissolved and our board believed that Swift Youth Foundation would be a good match to receive our assets. Kaylie asked me to join the board of Swift Youth Foundation. When talking about Swift, what are you most excited to tell others about? Camp! Camp Swift is when I see the kids of all ages being their best selves. They are learning coping skills, life skills and how to be a kid out in nature. What is your favorite Swift program and why? Camp Swift! All involved, campers and counselors, are learning coping skills, life skills and how to just be a kid out in nature. At Camp Swift, are you Team Grilled Cheese or Team Tomato Soup?
All about the grilled cheese, definitely Team Grilled Cheese!
How did you first become involved with Swift Youth Foundation? A former Swift Board member/friend suggested that I would enjoy volunteering at a camp that served kids in need. Why did you decide to more deeply support Swift and join the Board? I wanted to ensure the legacy of Swift. This is such a great opportunity, I hope that everyone has the chance to experience the programs, volunteer, and be impacted by Swift for years to come. When talking about Swift, what are you most excited to tell others about? I love that we bring together two distinctly different worlds in the youth that we serve and in partnering them together we are able to mutually benefit our community and beyond! What is your favorite Swift program and why? My favorite program, by and large, is Camp Swift, but most specifically the ropes course at Camp Swift. By facilitating this course for over a decade I have had the pleasure of experiencing our youth challenge themselves, grow together as a team, and overall witness their self esteem grow in a matter of minutes! At Camp Swift, are you Team Grilled Cheese or Team Tomato Soup?
Grilled Cheese! "Orange over red til I'm dead." Hook 'em horns...er...Grilled Cheese!! |
