At the end of the month, we’ll be sending off Oné Carrington, Community Services Coordinator as she moves out of state and leaves her position at Ahimsa House.
If you’ve met Oné at an outreach event, conference, meeting or the Celebration, chances are she left you with the biggest smile! Oné first joined our team in 2019 as a Community Outreach Intern in 2019, and we were thrilled when she joined the staff full-time in 2022 to serve as our Community Services Advocate. She has been a passionate, dedicated, and effective advocate for human and animal survivors AND a spectacular representative of Ahimsa House in the community. She brings so much light to work that is often challenging and we will miss her presence deeply!
However, we are thrilled that Oné gets to return home to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where she’ll finish graduate school and put her compassion and talent to work serving the community in which she grew up. If you’d like to say farewell to Oné, please email her at one@ahimsahouse.org this week! Her last day will be Monday, June 29.
To our supporters, Oné says: “Thank you all for being a part of the wonderful memories that I have made in Atlanta. Ahimsa House will always have a special place in my heart!”
What’s next for our Professional and Community Outreach Program?
We are SO excited to share that current Victim Services Advocate, Meg Schurmann, will be stepping into the role of Community Services Advocate! We are so excited for Meg to bring extensive experience with our Direct Services Program and her public speaking, community-building, and event planning skills to this role.
While you can email her at any time to congratulate her or to talk outreach plans, she’ll really be getting started in mid-July. Meg can be reached at meg@ahimsahouse.org!
That means we’re in the process of filling the Victim Services Advocate role, and will introduce you to our new advocate later this summer!
