ATPF HIGHLIGHTS
ATPF VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION HIGHLIGHT: 
USD INTERN KATHERINE (KAT) REJER


We LOVE our ATPF Interns & Volunteers! We will be recognizing and highlighting a new intern or volunteer in every e-newsletter - this week we are sending extra love and thanks to the ATPF Intern Katherine Rejer! Kat is a Sophomore at the University of San Diego studying International Relations and Business Administration. She joined our ATPF intern team in February this year. Due to the pandemic, Kat had to move out of the dorms she lived in on USD campus and move back to her home in the Bay Area. Instead of giving up on her internship with ATPF, Kat dedicated herself to working remotely with our team to keep serving our kids and families. She manages our Instagram on a daily basis and is integral in keeping our community feeling connected! 
We are very  grateful to have her on our ATPF Intern team!
