Meet Our Team & Board

Tracey Burnett
Executive Director
Tracey joins Pass It Along with 20 years of nonprofit management experience working with some of the top nonprofits throughout the country, including three affiliates of Big Brothers Big Sisters, Make-A-Wish, and Girl Scouts. Early in her career, Tracey learned firsthand the ripple effect of having a positive impact in the lives of children and adolescents. Since then she had dedicated her career to making a difference to help youth reach their highest potential.
Pass It Along is doing that as well and so much more, which is why she is so grateful to have the opportunity to lead the organization into the future. Tracey believes “it takes a village” and is excited to work with the community of supporters, donors, and volunteers that Pass It Along has created who are committed to building confident, compassionate, and resilient teenagers through self-discovery, leadership and volunteerism.
Starting as an intern completing her Master’s degree in clinical psychology at Montclair State University, Jenn joined the Pass it Along team in September 2017. 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.

Karen Baldini
Program Manager
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.
