The Middleton Center
has a new Director!
Joyce
R. Krajian, MDiv, begins July 1. Joyce is a graduate of Princeton Seminary
and has served as a pastor in the Philadelphia Presbytery and in West Central
Maine. She has also served for several years as a Parish Associate here at BMPC.
For the past twenty years Joyce has worked with programs in Philadelphia that
focused on reaching out to adolescents and their families to enhance literacy
and job skills. In her most recent position (1998-2009) she was Executive
Director of the Bridges Program in Philadelphia. Her responsibilities included
creating and managing a 12-month internship and training program that prepared
city high school students for post graduation career path positions in
participating law firms, health care systems and other professional service
organizations. The program expanded over the years to include 30 employers and
over 190 graduates, 66% of whom assumed full-time positions at their internship
workplace and 26% of whom chose to enter full-time college. In addition to her
leadership skills, Joyce brings well developed assessment and clinical
instincts, a powerful faith and a spiritual warmth, and a strong commitment to
the future of the Middleton Center. Joyce has served on the Middleton Center
Board for three years so is well aware of the scope of services the Center
offers.
Karen Dunkman, who was the Director of the
Middleton Center for the past 11 years retired June 30. Karen said, “Working at
the Middleton Center has been a wonderful blessing in my life. I am so pleased
that we have a very capable new Director, and I am confident that the Middleton
Center will continue to provide excellent services as well as grow in exciting
ways.”
