Special Thanks
Construction Junction's community outreach programming is generously supported by PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. And to Construction Junction's customers and donors. Without you we would not be possible and we appreciate your participation with our organization greatly!! OUR TOTALLY AWESOME VOLUNTEERS We are so grateful to all ourvolunteers and supporters. Thank you. April (showers bring May Flowers!) Ricky Reinoso and Mike Teti used their holiday breaks from school to perform some good old-fashioned spring cleaning for us here at CJ! On April 14th 11 volunteers from the Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council’s AmeriCorps project…
A few months ago we began a search for a Community Outreach Coordinator to join the Construction Junction team. We were looking for just the right person and were very lucky to find Natalie!! She has quickly become an integral member of the CJ workforce.
Natalie DeRiso earned her Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from The American University in Washington D.C. in 2005. After working as a staff educator for Sportsworks at the Carnegie Science Center she was the Docent Coordinator and Community Programs Manager for the Senator John Heinz History Center.
Natalie believes that all lives can be enriched through lifelong learning and that it's never too late to find a new passion. She is the mother to a 3 1/2 year old dare devil who thinks roofs are for jumping off of and the wife to a husband… who thinks roofs are for jumping off of. Natalie is typically in need of a nap.
And what does Natalie think of CJ?
CJ is one of those places that when you visit for the first time you think to yourself “I bet this is an awesome place to work”, and it is! This is an organization with a clear purpose and the folks working here truly believe that they can do great things for our city. That type of dedication is awe-inspiring and I am honored to have the chance to work with them. There are so many fun, interesting, educational and zany things here at CJ and my hope is to take some of the knowledge and passion of the staff and make it available through outreach, classes, workshops and online tutorials to our customers.
Click here to see what Natalie has cooked up so far. If you have class, outreach or other various assorted ideas, both zany and not so zany... Natalie can be reached at nderiso @ constructionjunction dot org or by calling 412.243.5025 x12.
