Our Mission is to strengthen under-resourced communities
through spiritual growth, education, revitalization, and basic
needs. To advance this mission in the last two years, I have led a
team of seven staff to: ● More than double the education hours
and attendance in our afterschool program. ● Grow and manage
over 200 volunteers. ● Served meals to over 450 children week-
ly. ● Managed a team who repaired over 30 homes in North Rich-
mond. ● Developed healthy relationships with existing communi-
ty organizations, businesses and churches, and added many new
partners.
I directed an annual one-week summer community event with
nearly 1,000 participants; ● Created our annual budget, includ-
ing responsibility for all purchasing, facility maintenance, and
community use.
Created all marketing materials. Aggressively promoted our pro-
grams in the community. ● Reorganized our struggling program-
ming for more effectiveness; and, launched several new program
initiatives, including: Professional counseling service, Breakfast
Club, Friday Activity day for children, Adopt-a-family, Mentoring

After 60 years Rochester Youth for Christ was failing: deeply in
debt, with ineffective programs, and a discouraged staff. ● I re-
focused the organization on its mission. ● Created an aggressive
get-well-plan; which included cost cutting, salary reductions and
retraining of staff in fundraising. ● Retooled programs to focus
on inner-city youth. ● YFC Rochester’s revenue had been declin-
ing by more than 30% per year. I stopped the financial decline,
reconnected with our donor base, and slowly increased revenue,
during an economic downturn. ● I manage a board of directors,

2. a staff of six and a volunteer base of 90. ● Presently YFC
works with over 600 inner-city Rochester children and teens.
