Coordinator Spotlight: Amanda Lloyd
My name is Amanda Lloyd and I have been a part of the CRD and the Explorers team for the past 3 years. I had the opportunity to hold many different roles throughout the Explorers program starting as an Aide & Mentor at Brophy Elementary, then moving to the Assistant Coordinator position at King Elementary, and now the Site Coordinator of King Elementary. I have over 10 years experience in youth work, including working with varied organizations like Girls Inc., YWCA, and more. I believe that student voice, family engagement, and enrichment opportunities for students will continue to enhance our program. My goal is to be a consistent positive influence in each student's lives and encourage learning, self confidence and fun as they grow in our community.
