Christian Brothers Conference is pleased to name Peter Tooher Program Coordinator of Lasallian Volunteers for the USA/Toronto Region of the De La Salle Christian Brothers.
As Program Coordinator, Peter will join Alisa Macksey, Director; Jolleen Wagner, Associate Director; Mari Anzicek, Director of Development; and Zac Ufnar, Recruitment Coordiantor in the operation of the Lasallian Volunteers program. Specifically, Peter will assist with site/community visits, be the AmeriCorps Program Coordinator and further develop the Mentoring Program and Alumni Relations.
Peter graduated in 2008 from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis on Finance and a minor in Peace Studies. After Notre Dame, he joined an international volunteer program, Farm of the Child, where he spent two and a half years working in Honduras. He learned about the Lasallian Volunteers from fellow volunteer, Sara Vogelpohl, who also joined Farm of the Child after two years as an LV. Peter comes to us with community experience, a very pastoral presence, Spanish fluency, good attention to de
tail, and experience working internationally.
When asked about what motivated him to apply for the position and why he wishes to serve on the LV staff, Peter responded, “What interested me about the program and inspired me to apply was the idea of finding an opportunity where my faith and service experience could be integrated with my professional life.” We feel Peter will be a wonderful addition to the staff.
Peter officially begins his new position on February 28, 2011 and will be based at Christian Brothers Conference in Washington, DC.
