CanStutter offers a warm welcome to our new volunteer Board Director, Matthew (Matt) Coffen. Matthew has joined the Board as the Volunteer Coordinator and comes to us with years of experience interviewing and managing personnel, and thus, he is well qualified for this role!
Matt is a Person who Stutters and has, since as far back as he could speak. Originally from Newfoundland, he has found himself living and working in many provinces; Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and has now settled in Nova Scotia. Throughout his travels, he has been fortunate enough to experience many different stages of Speech Therapy and participate in various programs and groups as a child, up through adulthood.
During this opportunity with the CSA, he hopes to spread awareness and afford others the same help and support he was given.
Matt has the primary responsibility of managing volunteers for CanStutter. Specific responsibilities are the interviewing and selection of suitable volunteers, management and evaluation of volunteers, maintenance of a volunteer database, and the development of new initiatives to improve the volunteer experience.
If you are interested in volunteering, Matt will be the one to receive volunteer applications and to interview and welcome all new volunteers!
Welcome, Matt Coffen!!!
