Upon graduation from college, Housel previously worked at the Community Foundation as the program and communications associate in 2020. She was a member of the foundation’s youth organization, Keys, when she was a high school student.

A graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University, Housel enjoys writing, reading, singing, do-it-yourself projects and hiking. She is a lifelong Kosciusko County resident.

“I’m so thankful to be back at the Community Foundation, especially considering that wonderful impact it has had on me throughout my entire life,” said Housel. “I really valued my previous time at the foundation and am excited to continue giving back to my community in my new role.”

“Kendra’s love for helping others and her strong organizational and communication skills will benefit the nonprofits and students served by the Community Foundation,” said Stephanie Overbey, chief executive officer of the Kosciusko County Community Foundation.
