About Sandy Mitchell

I have had the pleasure of working in the non-profit sector for the last 10 years both in volunteer and professional roles. It's a natural fit for me as I have always had a heart for service. My professional career started with a year of service through AmeriCorps VISTA as a Volunteer Engagement Specialist at an amazing youth empowerment organization. This opportunity truly changed my life. At times, it was a very challenging experience with long hours, stressful projects, and little compensation. But the rewards were also beyond great. It helped me to develop and hone on my Non-profit management skills and really connect with the community I am working in. After completing my service, I wanted to continue to grow and build with the community and I had the opportunity to continue working with the same organization as the Teen Program ELA Specialist and then was promoted as the organization's Operations Manager a few months later. I have been a part of this amazing organization for 6 years.On the weekends I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 5 year hounddog, Ziggy. We enjoy going to the dog park, exploring local breweries, cooking, and doing crafts.
