Volunteer Recognition

Each month, Burritt on the Mountain recognizes a volunteer who goes above and beyond to assist our guests and staff. We celebrate Kristina West as Volunteer of the Month.

This year, Kristina has volunteered over 100 hours helping with Special Events. Cooper Murray, Special Events Director notes “that Kristina is a fantastic volunteer who is always willing to assist where needed. Her enthusiasm and “can do this” personality have contributed to the success of Burritt’s Special Events.

To get to know Kristina better, we asked her Why Volunteer at Burritt? in three questions:

How did you get involved with Burritt on the Mountain? About a year ago, I decided that I would like to get more involved in volunteering and to do so at a place where my 9 yr. old daughter would also be welcomed to volunteer. I remember going to Burritt many times as a child and often thinking how one day I would like to be a part of all that they do. I love that I have been able to introduce my child to Burritt and for us to volunteer together at events throughout the year.

What do you find most rewarding? What I find most rewarding in my time volunteering at Burritt on the Mountain are the people with which I work and serve. The staff is amazing, all are so friendly, and appreciative of the volunteers. Also, I have enjoyed getting to know and building friendships with fellow volunteers that at times I see on a weekly basis. My volunteer days at Burritt on the Mountain are always great days!

What do you think makes Burritt such a special place? Burritt is such a special place as it provides something for everyone of all ages. Burritt works hard to preserve history, educate, teach as well as provide wonderful opportunities for socialization and volunteerism; it truly is a gem of our community!

We can’t do what we do without great volunteers! Thank you, Kristina, for supporting our mission.

Won’t you volunteer with us too?
