Volunteer of the Month: New York's Angela Bonnette

At Step Up, we believe Angela Bonnette inspires everyone she meets. You will first notice her smile, which lights up every room she enters, and then her infectious personality. A member since 2013, Angela has been a powerful force in our teen programs. She is always eager to work hands on with others at Step Up Saturday mentoring sessions and she is a strong role model for Step Up teens.

A retired major in the United States Army Reserves, it is clear that Angela has always been in the business of serving. This past December, as a retirement gift, her friends recognized her dedication to others and made a charitable donation to Step Up on her behalf. Angela recently said, "It is always a meaningful and great time when I am with you all." We feel the same way about you, Angela. Thank you for believing that all girls should have the opportunity to fulfill their potential. We are grateful for your compassion and service.
