Jenny Staebell - Executive Director

​

It is my mission to combine my educational experience and background, with my passion for health and wellness, to create a positive contribution to the Genesee and Orleans Communities.  As a 2011 graduate, of SUNY Albany University, I earned my Master’s Degree in Science and Health Education.  I also obtained both my professional Health Education (prek-12) and Childhood Education NYS teaching certificates.

​

Being in the educational field, for over ten-years, has afforded me many academic opportunities and professional development experiences.  I’ve had the pleasure of working with wonderful families and a caring faculty.  During my teaching experiences, I taught health education for four years in a middle school setting.  I developed a health education curriculum that focused on wellness, substance abuse prevention, disease awareness, and risk reduction behaviors.

​

Leaving my career, was a tough decision, financially and emotionally, but certainly not the hardest decision that I will make in my life.  I was looking for something particular, something that didn’t exist, so I decided to build it, and be completely committed to forming an organization that will impact and bring resources to our communities.

​

This career shift allows me to embrace my health education background and passion to help influence others in making healthy life choices.  Along with education, I have always had a desire to work with youth to help make a positive impact in preventing and reducing the risk that is involved with teen pregnancy.
