Have you met Clarke? Clarke is a volunteer who is helping primarily with our Safe at Home program. Born and raised in Chicago, Clarke moved to Minneapolis in 2017. She recently graduated from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities with a Bachelor of Arts in History with Minors in French Studies and Chemistry. Clarke loves fun facts, sewing, making playlists, going for walks outside with friends (when it’s not -5 degrees out), and cozying up with a good book or movie and her cat CC at home. She has been an active volunteer in her community for more than 10 years and really values helping where she can from tutoring after school to distributing PPE to seniors and packing produce boxes at a local food bank. She said, “I am very excited to have started volunteering with Rebuilding Together to help people live safer and more fulfilled lives in their homes!” We are thrilled to have Clarke on our team!
