Hands4Hope
is excited to introduce its newest staff member, Kathy Van Saun, our new Youth
Development Program Assistant! Maddy Gorrell, the previous Youth Development
Program Assistant, will be acting as Hands4Hope’s new Communications
Coordinator, and, as a result, Kathy will be taking over the “arm” of Youth
Development related to middle school clubs and leadership.

goals for her work with the organization.
Where are you
from originally?
I
grew up in Tehachapi, California and then went to Cal Poly, SLO to earn a
degree in Journalism. I’ve lived in
Folsom for over 20 years with my husband and three children.

Before
coming to Hands4Hope, I was working for 4 years in Special Education in both
elementary and middle schools.
What do you like to do in your free
time?
When
not working, I most enjoy spending time with my family skiing, traveling and
going to variety of school, sports and church activities. I also love going for
coffee, hanging out at bookstores and walking my dog at the lake.
What goals do you have for your work
with Hands4Hope?
My
goal at Hands4Hope is to continue providing an encouraging, safe and engaging
environment for students to grow in confidence in their strengths and to
explore how they can passionately make a difference in their community and
world.
What are you most looking forward to
in working with Hands4Hope?
I
love how Hands4Hope was started right here in our local community and that
students get to see how their leadership skills and hard work tangibly help
others.
