GOODBYE JESSI!
It is with great sadness that the Big Brothers Big Sisters staff bids farewell to our fearless leader, Jessi Krause.
Jessi is leaving the program after more than 6 years of faithful service - 3 years as the Community Based Case Manager and 3 years as the Program Director.
She will be joining VSAC (Vermont Student Assistance Corporation) as a VSAC Mentor/ Special Events Coordinator.
We know you join us in wishing her well!
