After School Activities Program Director.
Lisa will work with Pastor Janie, Carol

Way of Southeastern Idaho, and District 6 Courts.
Lisa was born in Pocatello but travelled
and lived in Washington, Alaska and Montana in her late teens and early
twenties. Lisa, age 31, has a degree in Social Work
from Idaho State University. Her scholarship and activities have

The program is free for students. Contact

Some of the activities youth have participated
in are exercising the brain and a safety presentation by ISU
Public Safety. Lisa is planning on starting cooking lessons for the group.
Funding for the program was donated by the
First Congregational United Church of Christ. Additional funding from
United Way of Southeastern Idaho was granted. The program has a "wish
list" of equipment and help.
