VOA Officers
President
My name is Tesa Mitchell, but I go by Tess. I graduated from Del Campo High School in January 2011 after being a cheerleader for three years. Immediately after graduating I started at American River College and got a job at Kindercare Learning Center as an aide in the Infant and Toddler rooms. I have been active in Venturing for four years and I love it. I am currently the president of Crew 380. I have earned my Venturing Silver Award, National Shooting Award, and the Girl Scout Gold Award. My favorite thing I have done in scouting was going back to the 2010 National Jamboree as staff in the Venturing Exhibit; it was, without a doubt, the greatest experience of my life. My goals for the council are to get more people interested and active, to help crews reach their goals, and to make this year fun for our council. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me an email. I’m looking forward to a great year in our council!
