Chapter Leadership
Jennifer Nelson
Jennifer is the Chapter Liaison for the Care to Learn - Bayless Chapter. She is also a Social Worker for Bayless Elementary School.
As Liaison for the Bayless Chapter, Jennifer works within the Bayless School District to ensure student’s basic needs are being met and to raise funds to ensure Care to Learn – Bayless continues its mission.
One of her most impactful memories serving thus far was, “seeing two children who were both physically disabled and sharing an adult sized wheelchair for mobility. With the help of Care to Learn funds, we were able to get them each a child sized wheelchair that gave them independence and dignity.”
