DURING TIME AT COIN
Although Svitlana has only been on the COIN board for a short time, that has not prevented her from getting involved as much as she can. Svitlana is passionate for what COIN stands for and continuously works to develop COIN into a better non-profit. While at COIN, Svitlana led a panel titled, An Afternoon with Our Refugee Neighbors, where she provided everyone with a platform to use their voice to share their experiences. Svitlana has also been instrumental in the promotion of the Walk A Mile In A Refugee's Shoes event that COIN is hosting in May. COIN is so excited to have such a passionate and hard working Board Member.
