Bio
Lauren Knowles
As a newbie to the field of volunteer engagement, I am so grateful that I had Jessica to learn the ropes from! I had the pleasure of being a student for one semester in Jessica’s course, called Spectrum of Engagement, as part of Fleming College’s Volunteer Management Certificate program. I was really impressed with Jessica’s knowledge of volunteer engagement, her organized and valuable content, and her enthusiasm for teaching her students. Her passion for volunteer engagement shines through as an instructor, and her engaging teaching style and mentorship are certainly a large part of my successful entry into the field! Jessica is a strong, positive force in the volunteer engagement field, and I would highly recommend her to any client, team, or future student.
Debbi Leith, CVA
She is engaged in the courses she teaches. She truly cares about her students and will advocate for them at any opportunity. A gem of a person and a committed facilitator. She won’t stop until the work is done and has a lasting impact because of it.
