May Volunteer Spotlight

Meet  Leanne Barnard, one of our volunteer instructors for the Life Skills program!  Leanne’s favorite part of volunteering with StepUp is, “Witnessing the ‘aha moment’ that participants have when everything just starts to click. It is exciting to see people internalize these important concepts. I also enjoy teaching the lesson on forgiveness. Learning to forgive ourselves and those around us is tough but very important for moving forward.” 

Leanne says the past year has tested her, but she is incredibly grateful and motivated by her relationship with God. “I am so thankful for the things that God has done to make me more generous, and how He has helped me to be more giving,” she explains. Leanne has made a lasting impact on our participants and we are grateful to have her guidance as a facilitator. Thank you, Leanne!
