She joined the team in late July and is driven to make a difference in our community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love Lighthouse\u2019s mission. I love what [we] do,\u201d she says. \u201cOur team doesn\u2019t just give short-term help to people; we give long-term help that can be lifechanging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gabrielle recruits and trains Lighthouse food pantry, distribution center, and emergency shelter volunteers. She also works to find people who can help at special events, like the upcoming Michigan Renaissance Festival in Holly (which takes place on weekends, August 20 \u2013 October 2) and Arts, Beats &amp; Eats in Royal Oak (September 2-5). In exchange for volunteers, the annual Oakland County events donate money directly to Lighthouse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the Renaissance Festival we need 320 volunteers. It\u2019s a lot,\u201d says Gabrielle. \u201cBut, in return you\u2019re helping people get back on their feet, have a house and job, and move forward in a positive direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Lighthouse, Gabrielle spent her undergraduate years studying psychology at the University of Michigan. After graduation, she decided to change career paths \u2013 but knew she still wanted to be in a role that helps people succeed in life. She\u2019s currently getting her graduate certificate in Nonprofit Management from Eastern Michigan University and expects to graduate in April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to make the world a better place,\u201d says Gabrielle. \u201cI want to give hope to the hopeless. As long as I can put a smile on people\u2019s faces, as long as I can make a difference in people\u2019s lives for the better, I want to do it. I love people and I have a lot to give, so I\u2019m going to give it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To connect with Gabrielle, email gfagan@lighthousemi.org.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":411,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"xn-wppe-expiration":[],"xn-wppe-expiration-action":[],"xn-wppe-expiration-prefix":[],"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"news_categories":[38],"class_list":["post-410","news-items","type-news-items","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_categories-employment"],"acf":{"photo_gallery":{"gallery":[[]]}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Meet Gabrielle Fagan, Lighthouse\u2019s New Volunteer and Special Projects Coordinator - Lighthouse<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/lighthousemi.org\/news-items\/meet-gabrielle-fagan-lighthouses-new-volunteer-and-special-projects-coordinator\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Meet Gabrielle Fagan, Lighthouse\u2019s New Volunteer and Special Projects Coordinator - Lighthouse\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u201cMy main goal is to help people, that\u2019s honestly all I\u2019ve wanted to do in my life is help people and give them hope,\u201d says Gabrielle Fagan, Lighthouse\u2019s new Volunteer and Special Projects Coordinator.
