Bio
Jason DuBose
I highly recommend Kathleen Bethke to any organization looking for someone with strength in the area of training educators. Kathleen has been immensely important to the process of training grantees for out-of-school time programming over the last four years. Her passion for the field, her clarity in guidance and the ease with which she worked with grantees has led the success of many out-of-school time programs. I count my own success as a former grantee as due in part to her leadership. Kathleen is one of the best trainers I have had the pleasure to work with, and I am thankful for the opportunity to have worked with her.

It is my pleasure to recommend my colleague and good friend, Kathleen Bethke, to any organization looking for a person who dedicates themselves to excellence. Ms. Bethke and I have worked as fellow trainers for the past four years in the out-of-school-time field in Texas. She is a passionate educator who has a strong vision and work ethic. You will not find a more dedicated or harder worker. It is my pleasure to know her and be associated with her passion and drive.
