SOUTH BEND EMPOWERMENT ZONE

Hey ya'll! My name is Ian Williams, and I am the new Club Director at Coquillard Elementary! We are looking forward to meeting you, your children, and getting to know you all as we begin this new school year!I am new to South Bend, but I am coming into my second year as a Director from Fort Wayne, where I served at their Boys and Girls Club for two years. Prior to this, I graduated from the University of Michigan with my Bachelor's in Voice Performance and Theatre Arts in 2015. Over the years, while I have held a professional career as a singing actor, I have also found a passion for serving my community as well! I believe that as a leader, my job is to be there not only for the kids, but for the families as well. This organization could not grow without your commitment and trusting of us to help your children grow. I am always learning from our children and families and I think that we are all in this together as a team! Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have something that is concerning, important, or you have a question about. Looking forward to meeting y'all!

Hello Harrison Families and staff! My name is Miss Destiny, I will be the Boys and Girls Club director at Harrison. I was the previous director at Wilson Elementary for the last 2 years. I have been with the Boys and Girls Club for more than 7 years as a club kid, Volunteer, and YDP. The Boys and Girls club helped me in my youth and my goal is to do the same for all the children I serve. I am excited to meet you all! When I am not at school I enjoy going to the gym to stay healthy. I spend lots of time with my family. We love to go hiking together and enjoy mother nature. I like to spend time with my pet shih tzu, Shaggy. I also like to learn new things, something I am currently doing is learning how to tuft rugs!
