Bio
Lauren Matt
Jonathan is an incredibly reliable, compassionate, and dedicated team member. In our time working together, Jon always embodied a growth mindset - taking every new client partnership as an opportunity grow as an advocate and educator. Through his commitment to integrity, Jon consistency brought his full self to the job, led and worked with an open mind and heart, and is committed to a vision of peace and equity. I learned so much from Jon through the ways he modeled mature and respectful communication, his compassion and empathy to support folks whose stories are quite different from his own, and his vulnerability and willingness required to step into new work and a new position while growing a program from the ground up. Jon's strategic and community oriented vision positioned him to thrive as the Youth and Young Adult Prevention Coordinator, while his commitment to equity kept kids in his program, and allowed him to serve as an excellent role model for the young people he worked with. Any team would be incredibly lucky to work with and grow alongside Jon!
