Michelle Powell,

Founding Director

In the summer of 2000, Michelle Powell, a single mother of two, began a journey that would ultimately change her life and positively impact the lives of many children in need. Michelle’s first vision of Let’s Make a Difference may have been formed using only her limited resources – a simple meal and a game of kickball at the local park; but it was the positive feedback from the handful of children to whom she reached out that inspired her to make that vision a reality.

Strengthened by her commitment to ministry and her work as a consultant for Medina Schools, Michelle persevered in overcoming obstacles while developing the Let’s Make a Difference Program. She organized a board of directors and a team of volunteers to plan and provide the daily summer activities.

Over the years, Let's Make A Difference has touched the lives of over 700 children.    Powell has received several awards for her efforts both locally and nationally.  See Below.
