Meet Kathi Barese, Danbury Public School Mentor for Three Decades Written by Ellen Meyst
DSABC Mentor Celebrates 30 Years of Service
Kathi Barese has been mentoring Danbury Public School students for 30 years. When she first learned about the Danbury Student and Business Connection (DSABC) mentor program from a fellow coworker and mentor, she knew she wanted to participate.
Barese shared that she is the kind of person who looks to help others, especially younger people. “Whatever experience you can share with somebody, will help them to think differently or open their mind a little,” said Barese.
Barese’s passion and commitment to helping others have shaped her into a role model for students as a mentor and substitute teacher at Henry Abbott Technical High School. Past mentees have described her as kind, helpful, patient, encouraging and easy to talk to.
