Our volunteer spotlight is: Liz Wathen
Liz Wathen is a recent transplant to Maryland. She moved here from Deleware to pursue her Masters degree in School Counseling at the University of Maryland. Since her freshman year of high school, she has dedicated time volunteering to work with kids in different capacities. She has always enjoyed her volunteer time, and thus choose a career in school counseling.
Liz began to search for volunteer opportunities to meet a class requirement. She was excited when she found Community Bridges because she was really interested in the work done by Community Bridges and she loved that Community Bridges' focused on empowering young girls. Her experience so far has been "amazing." She is inspired by the passion of the staff and the care and creativity that goes into all that the Staff of Community Bridges does. Working with Jump Start Elementary School girls has been an eye opener for Liz and has reaffirmed for Liz how much she wants to help the elementary school population as a counselor. She is looking forward to all that the remainder of the year will bring with the fifth grade girls she is volunteering for.
