Beverly Hildebrandt: Grande Prairie Centre for NewcomersGP Centre for Newcomers nominates Beverly Hildebrandt for Volunteers of the Week. They wrote ‘Since October 2019, Beverly has been co-facilitator for our Wednesday Evening Group for the English Conversational Club. Each week clients meet for 1 hour and 30 minutes to practice speaking English in a small group setting through facilitated conversations. Even though Beverly had no previous experience directly related to facilitating conversational group, she proved herself to be a perfect fit from get-go. Thank you so much for all that you do! We are so grateful and happy to have Beverly as our volunteer.’

‘Trevor is a former Board Member that felt like he could do more to help the youth on our wait list. He designed AND funded a monthly activity for these kids to help them feel more included and involved in our organization and in their community. He is a Rock Star to us!’
Congratulations Trevor!
