Kathy Rathbone, a graduate from Centenary College with a Bachelors Degree in Business and numerous certifications in negotiations and leadership, left the corporate world and started to work with kids and teens in local schools with reading and leadership programs.  Kathy transitioned from a long time volunteer with PIA to staff in May 2015. As part of her role she has developed toolkits for our clubs, developed leadership programs and enhanced the curriculum for our Discover Your Passion and Purpose program. In addition, Kathy now oversees all Programs and Leadership Development. 

Kurt retired in 2017 after a 31-year career as an educator in Sussex County. Most recently he served as Vice Principal at Newton High School in Newton, N.J.

In November 2015 Karen became another volunteer who has transitioned into a staff member at Pass It Along. She is a licensed clinical social worker who has an active practice in Ogdensburg, NJ. With over 30 years experience in social services and networking Karen has the resources to further develop the sensitivity for mental health needs of teens in our communities as it relates to our programs.

Heather began her time with Pass It Along as a parent of a teen who is heavily involved with the leadership and volunteer opportunities provided by the organization.  When the need arose for a professional to handle the accounting and bookkeeping, Heather saw the chance to combine her professional skills with her passion for Pass It Along.  Heather is a CPA with over 20 years of professional experience in the areas of accounting, tax, audit and financial reporting.  She is thrilled to be able to use those skills to further the mission of Pass It Along.

Demonstrating a passion for working with youth, Jenn has a strong educational background in psychology, as well clinical training and experience within the field of mental health. She considers herself to be an individual who finds great joy in working, motivating, and inspiring others through fitness, behavioral, and emotional domains. Jenn is an enthusiastic young woman eager who will be working with teens throughout her roles in Altitude, Discovering your Passion and Purpose Workshops, Pass it Along clubs, as well as our organization’s programs and volunteer opportunities.
