Monique Strickland has been with The Centenary (formerly known as Inner City Ministry) for 17 years. She has worked as a Group Leader, Teen Coordinator, Volunteer Coordinator, Tutorial Director, and an Assistant Director (current). She was born, raised, and educated here in Chattanooga and attended college at Austin Peay State University. Monique is a mother of two children and her family also has one fur baby named Bear.
Monique's job has become her ministry, as she loves that she is able to contribute to the lives of children she serves in a positive, encouraging, and loving way. She counts it as a blessing to be in a position where children’s lives can be impacted educationally, outside of the classroom. Over the years, Monique has thoroughly enjoyed connecting volunteers with kids in an effort to foster meaningful, supportive relationships. Working alongside staff and committed volunteers, she assists students with homework and offers one on one attention in tutoring and reading.
