Bio
Karenann Volinski
I had the pleasure and good fortune to work alongside Kenny in Peer Education programs. His program and mine collaborated through the Nassau County Youth Board. His intelligence along with his ability to understand and work with young people was inspirational. He created a safe space for the young people in our programs to learn and grow into confident and compassionate young men and women. He was a delight to work with and I learned a great deal, from working with him that I still draw from today.
