Chris DeRoller and I have been the co-directors of the Powell House youth program (New York yearly Meeting) since 2000.  We do  20 – 22 retreats a year with 3 age groups: 4th & 5th; 6th -8th; 9th -12th grades. We also offer retreats for young adults and older high school age folks together.  We invite young adults to co-facilitate the youth conferences.  Previously, I was a family support worker and program coordinator for Redlands Christian Migrant Association in rural Florida, working with the parents of preschool children and staff in preschool centers. Chris and I met as Peace Corps volunteers in Guatemala in the 1980s.  We have two adult daughters who continue to amaze us and keep us in line. This past summer of 2020 we left Powell House and are now living in Kansas where I am teaching middle school students.
