Meet the Wrap Specialist: Jeannie Kiehn
My passion for educating children has given me many hats to wear: 4-H leader, substitute para-pro, pre-school teacher, Sunday school teacher, PTA president, community Easter chairperson, FFA district competition judge, in-home daycare provider, senior project judge, and board positions for the local Community Hall, Communities That Care, Gear-Up, NCW Afterschool Taskforce, Washington Afterschool Association and Operation: Military Kids. Other involvement includes: Community Women’s Civic Group, Grant County Cattlewomen, and Grant County Historical Society.
If that doesn’t keep me busy enough, my husband and I have four children and three grandchildren. The youngest, still at home, keeps me going to sports all of the school year and horse events all summer, as well as fairs and shows. I live on a small farm just outside of George where I and my family have always enjoyed having a variety of animals. I feel that the animals can give unconditional love and teach kids responsibility. For fun and hobbies, I bake and decorate cakes for all occasions. I also enjoy photography, antiquing and WSU sports games.

Professional Development Opportunities
Are you engaging youth in the critical life skills of planning and reflection? Are you ready to be more intentional about including planning and reflection strategies into your daily routine and activities but not sure where to start? This interactive workshop will introduce participants to powerful and easy to use methods that promote youth engagement in planning, implementing, and evaluating activities and projects.
This workshop, part of the Youth Work Methods series, was designed by the David P. Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality to empower direct-staff with tools that will increase the quality of their work with youth.
