COA NYC Partner JASA’s Spring 2014

Volunteer Spotlight is on Mike Stetsky

Stetsky

Mike Stetsky has been a volunteer at the JASA Manhattan Beach Senior Center since June of 2013. You can find him at the Center four days each week, teaching the computer class and assisting in the Center’s office. An immigrant from Ukraine, Mike found himself wondering why many older adults “were not technologically savvy,” and took the initiative to apply his skills and experience through volunteering. “Over the year Michael has surprised us with his enthusiasm,” says Anna Bella, Project Director for the Center. “His vast knowledge and willingness to share have been a great asset at the Center.”

For his part, Mike tells us “I have grown very fond of this Center. Volunteering here gives me the opportunity to use my skills and watch the seniors grow with knowl-edge. I enjoy helping them. It gives me great pleasure.”

Thanks to Mike for all his hard work!
