Jennifer Betancourt comes to us from Tuesday’s Children, a New York non-profit family
service organization founded by family and friends of September 11th victims, where she
was the Director of their Mentoring Program. She was instrumental in the creation,
development and growth of the organization’s mentoring programs serving children who
lost a parent on that day. Over the years she has acquired knowledge and practice at
organizing, implementing and managing volunteer programs; non-profit strategic planning;
marketing; event planning; clinical work with elderly patients; experience in the Mental
Health Insurance industry, and researching and writing grants. She had the opportunity to
spend a week in Costa Rica during the summer of 2007, volunteering in the Bri Bri Village
teaching English to young children and painting a local school, while supervising a group
of teenagers from Tuesday’s Children.
