International Volunteer Day

This fall, the Marshall Foundation has had several enthusiastic young people at the office on a regular basis, benefitting both the Foundation and the students.

Carissa Iverson, a senior at Palm Beach Atlantic University, is the Foundation’s 2011-2012 PBAU Science Club Scholarship Recipient. She will continue working once a week with the education department at the Foundation until she graduates in May.

The Foundation and Dr. Wendy Hinshaw, Assistant Professor of English at Florida Atlantic University, partnered on a service learning project to provide “real world” experience for three students through writing and research tasks. The FAU team includes Adrienne DeCramer of Boynton Beach, Kirsta Lamm of Boca Raton and Sean Chesal from Deerfield Beach.

The Foundation was also selected as a mentoring site for high school students during the 2011-2012 school year by the Gale Academy of Environmental Science and Technology at Forest Hill High School. Katherine Brown, the student assigned to the Marshall Foundation, will continue her work with us until the spring.

Chelsea Jones, a Juris Doctor candidate at St. Thomas University School of Law (class of 2013), takes a twice-weekly break from her studies to be an invaluable volunteer at the Foundation office.

 

A big THANK YOU to the many volunteers who are such a vital part of the Arthur R. Marshall Foundation “team” throughout the year!
