Caroline Griswold Short
Vice President of Family Programming
As a graduate of Duke University, Caroline recognizes the incredible opportunities that she has had access to thanks to a great education. After pursuing her passion for the arts with a career in professional ballet and musical theatre, Caroline came across Generation Hope while recovering from an injury and realized she had found her life's true calling in working with Generation Hope's amazing Scholars. She feels incredibly grateful to play a part in our Scholars’ lives and is completely passionate about helping teen parents become college graduates and create better lives for themselves and their children. When she's not working with Scholars, planning events, or playing with our Scholars' little ones, Caroline loves to travel, read, and exercise. She is active in the DC dance and theatre community and regularly performs around the region. Caroline lives in Takoma Park, MD with her husband, toddler, and their dog!
Quote:
“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow”
– Mary Anne Radmacher
Why I chose this quote:
"This quote is a great reminder that often, the bravest things we do aren't the things we do with huge fanfare. Often, the most courageous and meaningful things we do are the little things – being kind to one another and ourselves, speaking out on someone's behalf, showing up for someone when the 'going gets tough.' This quote inspires me!"
