God has given a wonderful gift in our new Volunteer Program Manager, Jalle Gebisa. Jalle began her time at PSCC on August 1. She comes to us from West Lafayette, Indiana, bringing experience in managing volunteers in a nonprofit setting in Washington, D.C. and through the Peace Corps in Zambia. She has also volunteered in a clinic similar to Puget Sound Christian Clinic. Best of all, she loves people; I know she will love the PSCC family as well.
Jalle’s role at PSCC will be somewhat different than our Volunteer Program Manager’s role has been historically. Over the past several months, it became clear that the many responsibilities included in the Volunteer Program Manager’s job description were too numerous for one person supporting even five sites, and we anticipate having ten sites. Therefore, we have revised the role of the Volunteer Program Manager. Some of the responsibilities within the role have shifted to our medical staff; others are being assumed by volunteers. We also plan to add 1-2 staff members over the next 18 months. Jalle will be working with our volunteers to learn how we did things in the past so that she can train others to take on some of those responsibilities.
As you have opportunity to meet Jalle, please join me in welcoming her! I’m sure that you will enjoy her as much as I do.
