Volunteer Spotlight – Tricsh Bainer

A model volunteer for a model program. Falkirk's “Learning to Look” art education program has been blessed to have Tricsh Bainer assisting us for the last two years. She graciously volunteers her time and lively energy to help students create and understand art in a positive, supportive environment. She is totally committed to the students she works with, and provides critical support to make “Learning to Look” happen both in the classroom and in the Falkirk galleries. In addition to her work with Learning to Look, Tricsh is often on hand at our public programs and events, working booths, helping set up, decorate, clean up and make sure people enjoy the event. This spring she brought a friend to volunteer at our Spring Faire and created a whole new Mad Hatter craft activity that parents enjoyed as much as their kids (see photo). Tricsh has also volunteered for numerous other Marin organizations, including Youth in Arts, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, One Brick, and the Marin Women's Commission. She also provides one-on-one care to people in the community -- taking elders to appointments, providing food and clothing to the homeless and, as she puts it, “helping people gracefully and peacefully” wherever they are in their journey through life. Tricsh is an invaluable asset to Falkirk, and an example of how caring and dedicated volunteers make Falkirk thrive.
