Jennifer Redfering, Impact Coordinator, has worked at Big Brothers Big Sister of Pinellas for six years. She is constantly linking families with resources available to them, and on her days off, can be found finding furniture for families needing it. Her success with clients
is attributed to setting goals for them to achieve, celebrating when
those goals are reached, resulting in families having a renewed sense
of self-reliance and self-confidence.
