Kirsten Blazek
Kirsten has been volunteering with AACY for the past 8 years. Kirsten is someone who can always be counted on to give a hand in anyway possible. Whether it's traveling further than anyone else to deliver packages or being the last volunteer to stay with the staff to clean up from an event, Kirsten gives so much of herself to this organization.
Kirsten has been mentoring Katreena for more than two years. The pair attend the group events as well as spend time just the two of them. They spend time going to the movies, out to eat, mini golfing or for pedicures. No matter the activity, this match has a fun together and has created a great bond.
Kirsten is originally from Minnesota. She enjoys movies, plays and concerts, travel, the beach, walking with friends, participating in races, like 5Ks and 10Ks.
Kirsten has a son, Kevin. Kevin and his wife, Kari, have two daughters, Kirsten's granddaughters, Kennadi and Karleigh. They live in the suburbs of Omaha, NE.
"Since I began volunteering with AACY I've had the opportunity to interact with the youth in the program in a number of ways, including the mentoring program with Katreena, as well as other volunteers and the great staff.
In all cases, it's been an excellent experience for me."
