PROFILED

Each and every one of our staff and volunteers are huge contributors to the overall success of our programs. Not only do they make a huge impact on our organization, they are a huge influence on our participants. The connection that our Personnel are able to make with our participants is amazing. As an organization we are very fortunate to have an amazing group of individuals as part of our team.

This section will be used to Profile those individuals that have gone above and beyond our expectations. Each month we will be profiling different individuals, celebrating accomplishments and recognizing inspirational individuals.

Program Leader: Laurence Perry (AKA THE BEAT)

Laurence (a.k.a. The Beat) started with Between Friends Club during the Summer of 2009 and quickly transitioned into a Program leader role. Laurence has been very enthusiastic about getting involved in his programs and in his short time with us, has already experienced every age group.

In the Fall of 2009 Laurence lead one of our Social programs and our Youth Groove and Move, he has been a great mentor to new volunteers and has shown that accepting participants with disabilities did not stop at just the participants, but he welcomed a volunteer with a disability and adapted their role with him to make it successful. Laurence’s enthusiasm and motivation has been an asset to Between Friends Club and we are very lucky to have him as part of our team!

Program Volunteer: Tanya Schile

Tanya has been a loyal volunteer with Between Friends Club since 2006. She has volunteered in every age group and experienced almost every program we have offered our W.E.S.O.A.R. Participants. Tanya is almost always the first to sign up for programs and is great at providing feedback on which programs work.

Her experience with us has provided fantastic support for new leaders and new volunteers. She has been a positive role model for many of our participants and consistently exceeds expectations, session after session.
