March may be over, but we're not quite done with our Women's History spotlights! Up next is our Ellington Youth Services Director Kristen Harp, who began working for the Town in the summer of 2003. She has had the opportunity to grow across multiple departments and roles over the years. She began her career in education and later moved into youth services to better support the Ellington community by building on positive programming, emphasizing social-emotional learning, and promoting mental health and prevention in a space where young people, and their families, feel supported and can thrive.
