Sarah Patton

Sarah joined our team in 2023 and now serves as Operations Specialist II. Raised in North Carolina, Sarah knew from early on that her passion is to help others. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science from Appalachian University which included a minor in Non-Profit Organizations. During her undergraduate years, Sarah volunteered and collaborated with several local non-profits ranging from housing rehabilitation to youth support, brought an Art Workshop program to Hospitality House of Northwest North Carolina, and worked with a local farmers market to share information about F.A.R.M café, a non-profit whose mission is to build a healthy and inclusive community by providing high quality & delicious meals produced from local sources, served in a restaurant where everybody eats, regardless of means.

Upon graduation, Sarah joined AmeriCorps and moved to Kansas City. With AmeriCorps, she accepted a position as Community Engagement VISTA working for the Rosedale Development Association. In her position, Sarah assisted Rosedale in their mission of ensuring affordable housing and a healthy/vibrant/engaged community in Wyandotte County.

As you can see, with her heart for helping others, Sarah is a well-suited addition to our team.

In her spare time, you can find Sarah working out at the gym, knitting, or finding new adventures in the community. As a new Kansan, she is excited to get to know the area and continue to call Kansas her home.
