The Resource Center presented its Volunteer of the Year Award and recognized a hard-working employee during a luncheon held as part of the agency’s 32nd annual Ability Awareness Awards.
The Elmer Muench Volunteer of the Year Award was given to Peter Carlo of Jamestown. Because of the pandemic, there haven’t been a lot of opportunities for people to volunteer at The Resource Center. But the pandemic hasn’t stopped Carlo and his one-man mission of spreading the word about TRC.
The Resource Center recently presented its Advocate of the Year Award and Personal Success Award.
Jennifer DeWolf of Sheridan was named the Advocate of the Year. She is a direct support professional at The Resource Center, working with people with disabilities in TRC’s Dunkirk Day Habilitation Program and at some of the agency’s homes in the North County.
DeWolf respects the people she supports and is committed to assisting them in meeting their milestones. She also engages the people she supports to participate in community service projects.
DeWolf stands out in other ways. When she notices issues that should be addressed, she shares her concerns with other members of her teams. Her co-workers praise the quality of her documentation regarding the people she supports, and noted DeWolf never gives the impression she is above any aspect of the demanding job of being a direct support professional.
