SOS Family Album: Sidney Dennis

Gather ‘round, SOS family! We’re pulling out a few pages of the family photo album.

We love good stories. And old pictures. And timeless lessons and encouragements and reasons for hope. Who better to share all of those things than some of the SOS alumni family?

This staffer came to SOS during a special college project that operated out of SOS. And we’re still so glad she did! This woman is a thinker and a do-er and has made our teams stronger, smarter, and better whenever she’s been on them! She rose through the ranks at SOS from volunteer to Team Leader to Construction Manager to Returning Construction Manager to SOS Academy Resident and SOS Builds Champ to 2020 Staffer. It’s our great joy to cheer her on as she makes strides vocationally, but we sure miss having her on the summer rosters!
