We Appreciate Our Volunteers
April’s National Volunteer Month is just around the corner. We are especially grateful for our volunteer mentors who give their time freely to encourage and guide our scholars along their educational journey.
When Kelly Watson stepped down from her role as Development Director for The Chatfield Edge to care for her aging parents, she wanted to remain part of our mission and the 180-year-old legacy of the Ursuline Sisters of Brown County who started Chatfield.
Now, as a volunteer mentor with The Chatfield Edge, Kelly hopes to build on the Ursuline legacy by walking with students in a non-judgmental way that keeps them moving toward their goals.
“I can really empathize with the crooked path to and through college and know firsthand how I benefitted from having a mentor check in with me when I was struggling in college,” Kelly said.
