Program Director Deanna Griffin

Hello, my name is Deanna Griffin, and I am passionate about empowering young individuals to navigate life's challenges successfully. I have 25 years of valuable experience working closely with children and teenagers, my journey has been enriched through various roles including that of a dedicated mother and now a proud grandmother of three.

I have had the privilege of working in diverse settings such as treatment centers and group homes, which have equipped me with a profound understanding of the nuances of adolescent development. As a life coach, I conduct engaging group sessions that resonate well with youth, fostering connections that are instrumental in their personal growth.

Currently, I am dedicated to teaching Social Studies in my local school district. I am drawing upon my academic background in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. Additionally, I hold certifications in Life Skills Coaching and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, further enhancing my ability to assist young individuals in shaping their futures.
