Outreach Coordinator

The Outreach Coordinator is the link between the Board of Trustees, Congregational INSiders and the public. In addition to partnering with Issue Coordinators to assure broad spectrum administrative support. The Outreach Coordinator works closely with UUPLAN Board Presidents and Treasurers to assure the day to day operations of the organization.

Hi all, I am Virginia Kirk, currently filling in as UUPLAN's consulting outreach coordinator. Let me give you a brief introduction. I am a member of Wellsprings UU in Chester Springs, a longtime UU, and a social worker in Norristown. And a mother to two teenage sons. I'm married to Kevin Donahue, who some in the Philly area might know from his work with Rev. Kent Matthies on MLK Day of Service events.

I am excited about reconnecting my UU social values with my training and connections. I studied social policy while earning an MSS from Bryn Mawr College and have been involved with social justice activities for close to 20 years.

For the last couple of years, I have closely followed the Pennsylvania state budget and had a taste of the legislative session there during my first career as a reporter. I realize it is a critical time to stand up for people whose rights and quality of life are at risk now.
