Chris Etzwiler
Former Site Coordinator/Academic Coach
The late Chris Etzwiler continues to be an Afterschool Superhero for the children, youth, and Afterschool providers at Project GRAD Kenai Peninsula. As a Site Coordinator there, Chris brought creativity, joy, and a relentless commitment to education after school. Even while battling Stage IV cancer, Chris remained involved and concerned about Project GRAD’s programming and colleagues. Chris’ compassion and selflessness continue to inspire Project GRAD staff every day.
Chris’ dedication shone throughout COVID as he led (with his characteristic calm) the Project GRAD Afterschool team’s reset and redesigned programming to creatively deliver meaningful services to Kenai Peninsula communities. As one colleague put it: “Being in Chris' presence was an instant breath of fresh air, as his demeanor invited a sense of possibility and peace. Not one to get too worked up, he responded to challenges with positivity mixed with a healthy dose of reality.”
