Featured Volunteer

Cynthia Jones

After more than 8 years of service, Cynthia Jones has retired as a Family Friends volunteer.  Her decision was based solely on her health concerns.  Prior to joining our program, she spent many years with Experience Corps tutoring children in the public school system. During her time with us, Cynthia worked with four families and spent countless hours mentoring the children in each family. She also supported the program by shopping and setting up for our monthly volunteer meetings.  In her professional life, she worked at Sears and Roebuck for 30 years.  We wish her well during this time in her life.
