OABGC adds 2 new directors
Keontate Owens
The Orrville Area Boys & Girls Club in Orrville recently added two new directors.
Brianna Kauf is the new program director, responsible for membership programming outside of school and the training and development of part-time staff. Kauf’s experience with team dynamics, coaching and early childhood development made her an ideal candidate to help serve the OABGC membership.
She has a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati with an associate in early child development. She also will coach the Ohio Red Heat 10U fastpitch softball team.
“As a longtime club member, volunteer and coach, I am looking forward to this opportunity to give back to the community that has always supported me,” Kauf said.
Keontate Owens is the club’s new teen director, responsible for implementing teen programs and developing local resources for club teens age 13-18. Programs will foster positive self-identity; education and learning loss; career readiness; social, emotional and cultural competencies; community and civic involvement; and health (mind, body and soul) and life skills.
Owens is on the coaching staff of both the Orrville High School football team and the OABGC tackle football program. He has grown up in the club as both a member and in various roles as a part-time staff member.
The Orrville Area Boys & Girls Club’s mission is to enable all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. For more information visit www.oabgc.org or call 330-683-4888.
