Hello, my name is Susan Kytta. I was born and raised in Lodi, Ohio. I moved to Rapid City,South Dakota with my husband in 1996 and lived there for 15 years. We moved back to Ohio 3 years ago and make our home in Doylestown. I work as the Youth Center Director for the Salvation Army and I truly enjoy this job. Previously I worked as a child care counselor at Black Hills Children's Home in Rockerville,SD. This was residential treatment for children with severe behavior disorders. I am passionate about helping families and encouraging moms and dads in their roles. I love to see children develop through our afterschool and summer day camp programs. Many times we are privileged to watch them grow spritually, emotionally, and academically as well as physically. One of my most rewarding moments is when a child is able to understand a spiritual truth, or gain some new understanding of his peers. Those are the days I live for. I have a terrific husband named Eric and an awesome 8 year old son, named Gabe. My hobbies include reading, sewing and hiking with my family.
Hello, my name is Becky Wagner. I am the Shelter Director in the Emergency Shelter. Prior to becoming employed by The Salvation Army, I was employed by Wayne County for 30 years until my retirement in 2010. The thing I enjoy most about my position is being able to serve people. I hope they learn as much from me as I learn from them. My husband and I live in Wooster and we have been married for 37 years. My hobbies are spending time with family, our two dogs, making jewelry, and reading. There is nowhere else I would rather be then where I am right now.
Hello, I am Brenda Drouhard. I am originally from Orrville but have lived in Wooster with my husband for 31 years. I have two children, a daughter who lives in North Carolina and a son who lives in Wooster. I have worked for The Salvation Army for seven years and I am the Administrative Assistant/Social Services. I assist the Corps Officers with the daily operations of the Corps and help individuals and families who are in financial crisis. I really love everything about my job. I am always doing something different every day; from helping people, to doing many tasks for the Corps. I like diversity and challenges in my daily routine. I am passionate about the people that I work with in crisis. I am not always able to help every person that comes through my door but I always make sure that I give them options for success. Sometimes it is just a matter of taking the time to listen to their situation. My job is very rewarding when someone says "thank you” for taking the time with me. When I am not working I like to read and bake. I enjoy taking walks and spending time with my family.
