What Alums Say

One thing I’ll be grateful for this Thanksgiving is seeing the light and the inspiration to be an active volunteer for Vermont Adaptive this winter, with special attention to veterans…. Thank you again for your significant leadership in helping me and other deacons perceive the realistic opportunity to open a door that seemed like it wouldn’t open, to use tools and to have a process where their colleagues and others have got their back. An amazing thing is that you didn’t suggest anything specific to anyone, you suggested some tools and asked people to respond to certain questions going around the room. Grace came.

Definition of “Wayfinders” – finding your way surrounded by caring and thoughtful travelers. We are all on a journey, why not share and encourage each other along the way with whatever means we can. It’s fun and a great way to add a new dimension to relationships. Jackie Pinard
What I had was a deep desire to help others — and a dysfunctional shop to do the work in. My first action was only to move a box from point A to point B in the basement … so what … no judgement. As the weeks drew on, I was seeing more and more floor and less and less junk in my way. I was able to start helping out again. I had space for a woodworking project and the tools at hand for my son and his girlfriend. I was able to tear down and repair a swivel bar stool without tripping over junk piles or not being able to find screws. I am now building shelves and have plans for a work table. This shop has been a back burner idea for 20 years, and without Wayfinders; I would never have started making it happen. Arne DeFosse
Goals are much harder to achieve on your own. Team support is awesome. If you are on the fence about joining a team, as they say at Nike, “Just Do It.” Bruce Burnham
You do not have to have “lost your way” to benefit from an investment of time in joining a Wayfinders group. All of us know, at least to some degree, how to steer our life boat. Wayfinders encourages you to create a map and helps you read the compass. Leigh Sherrill
