When Jeanine Nemitz, of Fort Dodge, was a child one of her chores was to clean the church her family attended.
“I was trained as a volunteer from a very early age,” said Nemitz, a 1974 Fort Dodge Senior High graduate. “My family went to a small church (Assumption Parish in Coalville) and we would all take turns cleaning the church. That was my first exposure to how volunteers can make a difference. The little kids dusted the pews and as you grew older your jobs got bigger.”
That volunteer spirit followed Nemitz into adulthood.
As she grew older, she spent time volunteering in schools and eventually coordinated religious education programs at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Fort Dodge.
