Meet our Current Volunteers!
Rebecca Clay
...is a junior Spanish and Women's Studies Major from Durham, NC. She spent last summer in Nicaragua living and working on an organic farm and also visited the beautiful city of Oaxaca, MX. Rebecca is an avid tennis player and reader, as well as an aspiring fiction writer. She loves to go hiking and camping with her family, as well as make food and share it with friends and family. She is currently studing abroad in Chile during her junior year of college, and cannot wait to start volunteering at El Futuro again in the Spring!
Rebecca found her inner child at El Futuro!
Don Hartman
...lives in nearby Chapel Hill and comes to El Futuro every week to not only lift our spirits a little higher but also to roll up his sleeves and help! He also volunteers at UNC Hospital as a interpretor and is an avid musician and performer. Don lived in Mexico for 15 years as he led an international business.
You can catch Don at El Futuro every Wednesday morning
Angela Hobart
...is a junior at UNC majoring in Business Administration and History with a minor in Spanish. She is from Fairfax, VA, right outside Washington, D.C. She isn't sure yet what she plans to do with her degree after college, but she loves to travel and hopes to live and work abroad for some time. She will study abroad in summer 2009 in Sevilla, Spain and Greece. She enjoys bikram (heated) yoga, reading and spending time with family and friends. She is a self-declared nerd and proud of it and looks forward to giving back to the local community at El Futuro.
Angela gets the call to come volunteer at El Futuro
Mae Lynn Reyes, PhD,
...completed her training at the University of Puerto Rico with specialization in two fields: Research and Clinical psychology. In August 2008, she obtained a Minority Supplement for two years from the National Institute of Mental Health to adapt eating disorders treatment for the Latino population in North Carolina. Currently, she is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Eating Disorders Program at UNC. She enjoys both listening to music and also singing! For Mae Lynn, volunteering at El Futuro is a great way for her to help Latino immigrants. She has also found it to be a good way to deal with her own acculturation process since coming from Puerto Rican because she misses the sun, the food and the parties! Mae Lynn volunteers her time by providing triage and screening interviews of individuals who come to El Futuro looking for help.
Mae Lynn smiling about her work with El Futuro!
Cathy Lee, MD
...is a 1st year child and adolescent psychiatry fellow at UNC Hospital who now volunteers several times a month at El Futuro. Like Elena, she also trained with us last year through the year-long AHEC program. In the Spring she is overseeing a patient education initiative in collaboration with Harvard University.
We're not sure what's going on here
Michelle Roley...graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Psychology and an emphasis in Pan African Studies from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio in May 2008. Currently she is the Lab Manager for The AAKOMA (African American Knowledge Optimized for Mindfully-Healthy Adolescents) Project at the Duke Child and Family Study Center in Durham NC. Ms. Roley plans to attend graduate school for a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology as part of her goal of developing culturally relevant evidence-based interventions accessible to underserved adolescents and their families that will eliminate depression health disparities. Ms. Roley is volunteering at El Futuro globally, because she values the work that El Futuro is doing and wants to be a part of a movement that is so awesome! Personally, because she enjoys learning from and immersing herself in many cultures and spiritually and professionally, because she has a calling to serve communities affected by health disparities.
