Sarah Yokley, Program Coordinator for El Paso County Parks

I am an Interpretive Program Coordinator for El Paso County Parks out of Paint Mines Interpretive Park. Before I was hired at my position here I worked for the KDWP on their mussel research crew, Sanctuary One and Rogue Valley Humane Society out of Oregon. My experience at Friends was invaluable and helped me in all of those positions, but most in my current role. The wildlife interpretation class in particular helped me get certified to create interpretive programs and I do not believe I would have been nearly as effective in my first program season without it. The conservation program at Friends helped me to cultivate my dream life more than I can explain!
