Here at Sayre we would like to spotlight our member Dionna Sanders. Dionna came to us from our sister site at West. She’s been here for a little over a month now, and we are so happy to have her on our team.
Dionna is a recent graduate of West Chester University, where she majored in Communication Studies and minored in Psychology. At West Chester she was an executive board member of the Black Student Union and a member of the Public Relations Student Society of America. Dionna is serving this year with Promise Corps because she believes one of the best ways to give back to your community is through education. After this year, Dionna plans to pursue a job for the City of Philadelphia in their Communications Department. Dionna is also the founder of Let Me Ask My Sister, a young women’s mentoring group focused on at-risk young girls from the age of 11-19. Their mission statement is “Let Me Ask My Sister started out by my close friends and family continually asking me for advice on a range of topics. Realizing my talents, I felt compelled to create this program to share my expertise with you all. Here at Let Me Ask My Sister, we are committed to giving quality advice and dropping gems. So, feel free to ask for advice on anything you would like. No question is too big or too small.” Dionna implemented that program at West where she worked with girls on the cheerleading team.
Since joining us, Dionna has worked with team members to plan a college trip to Delaware State University. She has also been assisting the School Counselor with registering students for the SAT and ACT tests. In addition, Dionna has made tremendous efforts to build her new caseload by attending classes, getting familiar with faculty, and observing lunch periods. Dionna is excited to start her mentoring group here at Sayre in the next few weeks. She believes the young girls here will value this program and it will have a strong impact on their lives.
