Our Sr. High Youth Group Leaders
Laurie Cawley has been a leader of the Sr High youth group for several years, traveling with the group on work camps and to Europe. Laurie is a professional dancer and choreographer who has taught modern dance to 4-5th graders in the Detroit public school system. Kent also believes that Laurie invented the Internet. Laurie is too humble to take credit for this.
Kristen Sodher is a former youth group member and so knows all the secrets of the Nolan House! She is also a long-time youth leader and the director of education at Sylvan Learning Center in Wilton.
Eleanor and Kent Stanton are long-time members of the church family. They got interested in volunteering as youth leaders after seeing the benefit of the group in their children's lives. Since then, they have also felt the benefit of being youth leaders in their own lives. Kent is a computer programmer at Empire State College and has been a leader on three of the last seven Europe trips.
Kent and Eleanor get LOTS of respect on youth trips!
