This year, NUHSA recognized many volunteers and their programs for making a difference in our community. Our guest speaker, King County Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) Director, Adrienne Quinn, delved into King County’s work on Best Starts for Kids which focuses on the preventative care for at-risk youth, prevention and early intervention for the age 0 to 5.
NUHSA was excited to announce this year’s Human Services award.
Sheriece Simon from Natural Leaders at Northshore School District won the “Volunteer of the Year” award. She comes from Natural Leaders at Northshore School District. She works with families and communities of diverse background.
Power of One was the winner for “Volunteer Program of the Year.” The Power of One program brings elders, families and kids together and builds a strong relationship amongst them. This program was established in 1996, and provides around 60 volunteers in the Shoreline School District, K through 12 programs.
