Jodi Dueck-Read is a facilitator, instructor, social activist, and researcher. In her new role as Director of Practicum at Menno Simons College, she is excited to liaise with local nonprofit organizations, assist students as they seek a fulfilling internship, and consider new experiential education possibilities. In addition to teaching courses at Menno Simons College and Canadian Mennonite University, she is a trained facilitator with Walls to Bridges and hopes for in-person opportunities to teach inside and outside students.
Prior to re-locating to Manitoba, Jodi lived and worked at the US-Mexico border where she was Associate for Migration and Peacebuilding with West Coast Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).
