Meet Our Staff: Jared Morgan

Jared Morgan is the public administration intern focusing on grants, schools, and government. Jared grew up in Wilmington and graduated from Laney High School. He received a full academic scholarship to the University of Alabama where he completed his undergraduate degree in political science and he is now completing his masters of public administration. At the Cape Fear Volunteer Center, Jared is kept very busy and works to write and complete grants to provide the CFVC with the resources needed to help the disaster relief work. He also works with our government representatives to spread our mission and enable them with the information to help and understand the recovery efforts present in Wilmington. Jared works with schools to recruit volunteers as well as aid in preparing schools to act as shelters in the event of another disaster. Jared expresses that his internship “showed me the importance of community…there’s a lot of non-profits on the ground doing the work needed to recover from disasters and help the less fortunate and vulnerable in our community.” Jared’s value of our community and how people come together for the good of everybody, has enabled him to achieve change and awareness with the CFVC and promote volunteerism in Wilmington.
