Lori Chen,
ELC, Residential Center, International & Special Event Volunteer

A master’s student at Erikson Institute, Lori Chen has been volunteering with The Children's Place Association since 2008.

As an active volunteer with the 3 to 5 year olds at the Early Learning Center, Lori had the opportunity to see just how resilient and bright the children are – watching them learn, play and be a part of their world for a few hours a week.

Lori is also a dedicated special events volunteer. Helping out whenever the call is made – from the Once Upon A Time Gala to AIDS Run/ Walk you can count on seeing Lori helping out.

“The Children’s Place Association gives you a chance to be the difference in a very simple and straight forward way. It is very easy to get involved. And trust me, you won’t regret your decision. For me it holds very true that one finds true happiness when helping others.”

“Each month, I look forward to my night volunteering at The Children's Place Association as it is such a departure from my day job. I have so much fun with the kids, that it hardly feels like volunteering. Instead it feels like my monthly dose of play. The kids are a great group with unique personalities. Every one of them has brought a smile to my face. Sometimes, I think I get more out of the experience than they do!"
- Foster Kids Group Volunteer since 2007 Tara Perman of Price Waterhouse Coopers
