Amy Steinmetz, Executive Director
Amy@20-200fellowship.org
With a Master of Education degree and thirteen years of experience
in nonprofit management (I spent more than ten years at Recording for the
Blind & Dyslexic, ultimately directing the Princeton, NJ studio, and later
I became the Senior Program Director at the Boys & Girls Club of Trenton),
I moved to the Treasure Coast to become the Executive Director here at the
Fellowship. I feel very lucky to have joined such a warm and generous community,
without whom the Fellowship could not have grown into the vibrant and exciting
organization that it is today.
Sindy Greenwell, Program Coordinator
Sindy@20-200fellowship.org
My name is Sindy Greenwell and I am the Program Coordinator of the 20/200
Fellowship. I have a B.B.A. degree in Computer Information Systems from Middle
Tennessee State University. I teach adaptive technology , lead the Dot 6 Kids'
Club and run Eye Openers and P.U.B. The most rewarding part of this job is
seeing the successes of my students and watching them progress toward their
goals; I enjoy helping people learn new things.
Virginia (Ginger) Stokes, Receptionist/Program Assistant
Ginger@20-200fellowship.org
I am likely to be the first person you meet at the Fellowship. Along with
my duties as receptionist, I am the one who will give you your low vision
demonstration, showing you all of the magnifiers and CCTV's that are here.
I am also the Program Assistant which means that I work with the adults and
kids who come in for Eye Openers, P.U.B. and Dot 6 Kids Club. I have been
with the Fellowship since February of 2003, and I just love what I do.
Ron Andrini, Assistant
Ron@20-200fellowship.org
My name is Ronald Andrini, better known as Ronny or Ron. I grew up in New
York and later moved to Miami where I completed high school and then worked
as a musician and in auto finance.
Since its inception in 1999, the Fellowship has grown from a dream into a vital part of our community. We opened our doors in early 2002 to meet needs that other agencies miss and to serve people who otherwise would not be served.
Just as a sports team thrives when it has offensive and defensive players, the Fellowship Team is strongest when it consists of people from all walks of life. Our board, staff, and consumers are a diverse group of all ages, ranging from 20/20 vision to legally blind (best corrected vision of 20/200) to totally blind. We have worked together to create a central location where visually impaired people can develop new skills, learn adaptive technology, network, secure volunteer services, obtain information and so much more. Unlike in more ‘traditional’ settings, skills, tricks and tips are taught by peers who have firsthand knowledge of the obstacles the blind or visually impaired consumer confronts.
Over the next 30 years, as the giant baby-boom generation ages, the number of visually impaired Americans is predicted to double. The Treasure Coast can anticipate tremendous impact from this growth. Through the innovative programs and services we provide, the Fellowship is poised to be our community’s response.
Our vision of personal independence for persons who are blind
and visually impaired is enhanced and enriched by strong team players. We
invite you to join the Fellowship Team!
