Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound Hire New Director for the Jim and Carolyn Milgard Family HOPE Center.
The Jim and Carolyn Milgard Family HOPE Center will soon be opening its doors wide to welcome the Gig Harbor community to a 34,000 sq. ft. facility that will offer a wide variety of community uses to be enjoyed by every age, from 6 year olds to grandparents. This multi-use facility will offer something for everyone.
In order to be ready to meet the community’s needs on day one, Jo Ann Maxwell has been hired as the new Director of the Jim and Carolyn Milgard Family HOPE Center. Jo Ann’s extensive experience in managing facilities has prepared her well to take on the task of managing this “multi-use” and “multi-tenant” facility. The Cheney Family Branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound is one of the anchor tenants along with the Senior Center, Peninsula Athletic Association, Lindquist Dental Clinic for Children and Read 2 Me, who all share the same vision of the HOPE Center. There are numerous other partners and associate tenants involved.
Jo Ann Maxwell began her career as a teacher in Aurora, Colorado. She taught K-12 physical education and community-based, functional curriculum to students with cognitive and physical delays. She also organized the local Special Olympics program in seven sports and coordinated many statewide competitions. Jo Ann moved to Special Olympics Montana to work at the state level.
She was asked by the City of Great Falls, Montana to become the first supervisor of the Community Recreation Center. At a time of great need at the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Montana, she stepped in as the Executive Director. Through her administrative skills, grant writing expertise, and community collaboration ideals; the Club prospered.
Jo Ann subsequently left Great Falls to join the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound. She has over 30 years experience in the youth development field and believes in the Kids at Hope pledge that says that all kids are capable of success—No Exceptions!!
Her educational achievements include a BA in K-12 Physical Education and an MA in Sports Administration, both from the University of Northern Colorado.
The vision for the Jim and Carolyn Milgard Family HOPE Center and Cheney Family Boys & Girls Club is to unite the community in serving youth to find their full potential. Jo Ann is excited about this new venture in Gig Harbor and looks forward to collaborating with the community to create a safe, vibrant environment where people are supported to be healthy, knowledgeable, independent, productive, responsible and caring citizens.
