St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center Names David Kuziemko Volunteer of the Year

Feb. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center (SVSF) has announced David Kuziemko as its Volunteer of the Year for 2015.

A resident of Sterling Heights, Kuziemko is an active volunteer in his community.

Kuziemko started volunteering with SVSF in September 2012, and works as a GED program volunteer to help tutor Detroit adults striving towards a better education and a more stable job. He says he truly enjoys the volunteer opportunity offered by SVSF.

“If gives me a warm satisfaction to help students who have decided that they want to improve themselves,” Kuziemko said.

SVSF is honored to have such a dedicated and enthusiastic volunteer.

“David’s been a wonderful volunteer since he started over two years ago, and we’re so lucky to have him,” said SVSF Executive Director/CEO Diane Renaud.

In addition to volunteering at SVSF, Kuziemko is also treasurer for Save Our Symphony and has become a Board Member for Transportation Riders United.

St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center began in 1844 as St. Vincent’s Academy in Detroit, a kindergarten for orphaned children. The organization evolved through the years and moved to Farmington Hills, establishing an adoption/foster care residence for children. In 2006, when policies and the economy changed, the Center closed its residential doors, but wanted to continue to fulfill its mission of serving at-risk children and adults. Identifying the significant need, the Center returned to Detroit and its roots of education and now provides free, personalized educational support for children and adults. These programs are designed to help build self-sufficiency skills for academic and employment success, personal achievement and dignity.
