Jodie Aquino-Sisk Leads Organization Of Newark Volunteers

NEWARK, CA — Without community leaders, Newark wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Donna Larck-Sisk, a Newark reader who nominated Jodie Aquino-Sisk.

How do you know this community leader?

I'm the board president and she is the executive director.

What does this community leader do?

Executive Director of The League of Volunteers

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

She took over the organization in November of 2022 with little to no training and the board and volunteers have fallen in love with her. She has strong leadership skills and compassion for those in need.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

She leads by example! She works very hard and her volunteers are happy to step up and work just as hard as she does. She had volunteers working a full 40 hour week because the love the organization and love volunteering for Jodie!
