Volunteer Spotlight
Meet Liz Bramow
Liz has been volunteering at our Hand in Hand program since June of 2010. She is currently a Child Group Facilitator. Liz recently completed her Bachelor's degree and has a career goal of being a Child and Family Therapist. She feels the experiences she has had at Morrison are critical in her future line of work.
Liz says it best, "I am so glad to be working with dedicated individuals who have an unparalleled passion and patience for working with these children. What I have noticed in working with these children is an unbelievable ability to cope and succeed in life despite whatever misfortunes they have experienced in the past. They teach me so much and I am honored to know, create, play, and laugh with them."
We would not be the organization that we are without our wonderful and supportive volunteers. Thank you to all of our volunteers! If you have a volunteer story that you would like to share, please email us.
