Volunteer Spotlight: Karis Findlan

Karis Findlan started as a volunteer at Discovery with Fulton last year and quickly became one of the 'regulars', coming almost every session for the entire year.  The Grade Captains (volunteers who lead each classroom) loved having her in class, as she brought a high level of energy and was a consistent source of dependability.  The students loved having her in class due to her easy going manner, patience, and genuine interest in their lives.  And she did all this while working full time and getting her MBA at night!
 

This year, she answered the call for help and stepped up as the co-Team Coordinator at Discovery with Fulton - according to her co-TC Saya Hillman, "Karis has gone above and beyond, and made my job so much easier and enjoyable!"  She oversaw three volunteers design and order the Discovery T-shirt, and coordinated Fulton's 2nd Annual Coat Drive.  She does everything enthusiastically, even the less glamorous, like sitting in a hot storage locker for two hours, sorting through old supplies and organizing new ones, in order to make the Grade Captains' job easier. 

Karis has been a wonderful partner and has helped Fulton become an even more enjoyable experience for administration, students and volunteers alike.  Join Karis at Discovery with Fulton Saturdays this winter and spring. Our next project date will be January 14.
