Bio of Speaker –

Amy Jenner has been a volunteer with Wildlife in Crisis for 5 years.  Passionate about the mission of WIC, and under the education of renowned wildlife rehabilitator Dara McDonough Reid (founding director of WIC), Amy conducts frequent community outreach and education programs in an effort to further the mission of the organization.

Since 1988, Wildlife in Crisis, the Wildlife Care Center,  has provided care for debilitated wildlife, in addition to its habitat preservation and environmental education programs all in an effort to improve the quality of life in our community.

Each year, WIC cares for over 5,000 injured and orphaned wild animals with the goal of rehabilitating them and releasing them back into the wild.  In addition to wildlife care, WIC volunteers answer over 15,000 phone calls regarding native wildlife.  Wildlife in Crisis is the only organization of its kind in Connecticut, licensed by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to care for all species of native wildlife.

Builders Beyond Borders...Come find out all about us!

Builders Beyond Borders has been serving the local and global communities for 20 years! High school students who participate with B3 are placed on a team with whom they perform local community service, hold team meetings and activities, and travel with during one of the February, March or April breaks. While one of the main goals of B3 is service, students in the program often come away with leadership skills and build confidence.

As part of B3’s mission to “build a better world”, B3 also hopes to build a bigger world by expanding the horizons of volunteers and the communities they serve. By working hand in hand and side by side with host communities, volunteers become compassionate and capable global citizens, and the communities served realize that they are not alone in their struggles. Each year, B3 contributes over 20,000 hours of service in benefit of communities in need, both near and far. Learn how you can join B3 on May 24th at SHS!
