New SPNN Executive Director Chad Johnston meets with SPNN Youth Action Committee

SPNN Youth's Action Committee (A.K.A. YAC) took a pause from their current projects recently, to chat with Chad Johnston, new Executive Director of SPNN. Over sandwiches and juice, YAC members got to know Chad, and find out what motivated him to leave the warmth of North Carolina for the (sometimes) frigid tundra of Saint Paul. "When I'm comfortable, there is a problem", said Chad, on why he took the E.D. position at SPNN. And we don't think he was talking about weather. Chad has known of SPNN for many years and considers it the "gold standard" of Access Centers.

Set It Up members Kyle and Jake getting ready to head out for fun week

By Kevin Kalla, SPNN Youth Programs Coordinator, Set It Up

If only something had happened last week... something that was so much fun, the memories could sustain me during this week of solitude... something that... Wait! I almost forgot about Fun Week!
