June’s Volunteer Spotlight

North County Lifeline has not been the same since Suzi Bradshaw began volunteering six months ago…
we are *much* better for it!

Suzi is a volunteer tutor at La Casita, the Club Crown Heights after school program site for elementary-age students. Her passion for reading and interest in teaching comprehension led her to volunteer with Lifeline. Once on board, Suzi reorganized a reading room and has introduced the kids to new age-appropriate books. 

Suzi first became aware of Lifeline through a volunteer tutoring announcement she saw at North Coast Church. So far, Suzi’s favorite volunteer memories have been:
(not necessarily in this order)
  •  Hugs
  •  Receiving drawings as presents from the kids
  •  Seeing the kids get SO excited about reading

Suzi enjoys facilitating her reading groups at La Casita but helps Club Crown Heights with whatever they need… even peeling bags of oranges. As a volunteer, Suzi encourages other tutoring volunteers to get to know the kids and to motivate them while tutoring.

Suzi Bradshaw invites others to volunteer with North County Lifeline because it is rewarding to see kids learn and how positively they respond to encouragement.

Suzi, thank you for all you do! You are an inspiration for us to be more creative and more dedicated. YOU are truly changing lives. Thank you.
