Bridget Cannon, youth programs director
 |
|
Bridget Cannon’s relationship with Volunteers of America began in 1994 when she signed up to be a volunteer at our Crosswalk teen shelter. What she experienced there convinced her to leave her 18-year career as a professional cook to dedicate herself to helping at-risk, homeless and runaway youth. After ten years working at Crosswalk, Bridget is now director of youth services for the agency. Bridget’s passion, clarity and humor quickly earn the trust and respect of each youth she serves.
In addition to being a certified trainer in residential youth care, Bridget is a member of the Workforce Development Council Executive Youth Council and serves on the board of the Washington State Network for Youth. When she is away from work Bridget loves to read, cook and camp. She can be reached at bcannon@voaspokane.org or 509.624.2378 ext. 120.
