Recreation Instructor - EXPAND

Gracie Ernest, EXPAND Recreation Instructor

Gracie began volunteering as a Peer Mentor with EXPAND in 2021, working with youth programs. Through her experiences with EXPAND, she discovered her passion for inclusion. She spent two summers at Camp Amico and, in between, served as support staff for EXPAND and as a job coach at BVSD Transitions. In 2024, Gracie became the Inclusion Specialist at Kidz Camp, furthering her commitment to inclusive programming. She is so happy that she found such a great program to continue to learn and grow as a program instructor. 

Gracie enjoys Music, hiking, snowboarding, rock climbing, and pretty much everything outdoors!
