Lorrie WoloszynAbout:As a life-long resident of Broome County, I have had the opportunity to meet and work with so many amazing individuals and families from all walks of life and with each new relationship and experience I continue to learn about the importance of diversity and inclusion here in our community. After working in a public high school setting for several years, I realized that I wanted to work with at-risk teens and young adults to help and empower them to become strong and successful adults. I believe all adolescents possess untapped talents and potential, they just need a positive support system and healthy coping skills to get them on the right track and I look forward to being a part of that process.
