My Story…
About two years ago I started volunteering at the Portland Boys & Girls Clubhouse. I found that volunteering every Thursday was something I looked forward to every single week. As a volunteer I helped serve dinner, lead cooking classes and of course my favorite, played pickup basketball.
Fast forward a few years later, I am now working at BGCSM in Development and Fundraising. I look forward to coming to work everyday and hanging out with some of our incredible members. If you know me, you know that this place is way more than just an after school program. Our Clubs change the lives of young people.
