Staff Spotlight - September 2024 | Gloria Barnett, Program Coordinator

Gloria Barnett | Family Service Program Coordinator

Monday, September 30, 2024

Camp Fire Alaska’s first ever Staff Spotlight features Gloria Barnett, Family Services Program Coordinator, who was recently promoted. She recounts her journey with Camp Fire below:

“I started at Camp Fire in November of 2021 after a HUGE career shift, ready to do something different. This was an opportunity to find change, and continue having fun and spending time with my own kids. Originally, I started as Program Staff at Abbott Loop’s Before and After School Program. Shortly afterwards, I was promoted to Assistant Site Director. Then, in the following school year, I became the Site Director at Abbott Loop.

After Abbott Loop closed, I was moved to O’Malley Elementary. Unlike my other sites, this one was larger, with over 23 kindergartners enrolled that year! For a wonderful year, I spent my time at O’Malley Elementary as Senior Site Director; and in summer, I was Until Leader at Camp Fireweed. When the Family Services Program Coordinator position became available, I was excited to apply. My personal goal is to help children that come from adverse backgrounds and this role puts me in a position where I can do that. I’m excited to see what this year brings!”
