Noah Dziedzic joins SCAN as Operations Coordinator
|
Noah joined SCAN as the new Operations Coordinator in January 2019. His enthusiasm, intelligence, work ethic, and willingness to jump in have already made an impact on SCAN. We are excited to have him as part of the SCAN team!
What has your experience been that brought you to SCAN? What is your current role?
My mom was a social worker and exposed me to volunteering throughout my childhood. I have volunteered at an incredible organization, Anna Julia Cooper School, for many years. These experiences helped me know I wanted to be part of something to make the world better.
I am currently serving as SCAN’s Operations Coordinator, a position that allows me to do a little bit of everything.
What inspires you to stay involved with your work at SCAN?
In my role specifically, I enjoy making other people’s lives and jobs easier. I know that I can help people do what they need to do to help children and families.
Is there anything you wish other people knew about SCAN?
That there are incredible, talented, kindhearted, gifted people working at SCAN. They create a culture that lets people be themselves, thrive and do amazing work.

They are individuals from all walks of life who are willing to dedicate their time to looking out for a child’s best interests.
