Gillian Fennell
Ridgefield High School senior Gillian Fennell has been volunteering with SPHERE for several years now, and has just recently taken on a new position with the organization as intern.
Through the RHS Senior Intern program, Gillian is working on developing a life skills program curriculum for members, streamlining administrative and organizational tasks, and broadening the reach of SPHERE through social media.
“Gillian is a caring, responsible person who knows our mission and is applying her skills to benefit our organization. We couldn’t be happier that she chose to complete her internship with SPHERE,” said Lori Berisford, chairman of the SPHERE board of directors.
In addition to volunteering with SPHERE, Gillian is involved with Ridgefield and Beyond, a student-run chapter of BuildOn, traveling to Malawi this summer to build a school. Gillian also enjoys working at The Prospector Theater, golfing and baking.
SPHERE — Special People Housing Education Recreation and Employment — is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities. More information may be found at spherect.org
