Thanks to AmeriCorps member Catrina ‘Cat’ Dillard

Since November, Cat Dillard has been at Muddy Sneakers as an Environmental Outreach volunteer with the AmeriCorps Project Conserve program.

Cat is a native of Atlanta who has worked for 13 years as an art and drama teacher in Georgia. While working for Muddy Sneakers, she has been trying to increase awareness and support of the organization by assisting in the establishment of our Community Sponsor membership program and working to plan our first Muddy Sneakers Summit in April.

Cat will be leaving Muddy Sneakers following the Summit to complete the remainder of her AmeriCorps service at Green River Preserve (GRP) summer camp in nearby Cedar Mountain, NC. At GRP, she will have instructional responsibilities while also directing the farm program. After AmeriCorps, Cat plans to thru hike the Appalachian Trail. We wish Cat all the best and we’ll miss her infectious smile!
