“Having grown up on Cape Cod, Katrina Fryklund never thought that she would settle back home, however is pleased with her decision to return and pursue her professional career in development.
Starting at Latham Centers in 2013 as a Development Associate, she is now the Director of the Development at the non-profit. Latham Centers is a residential program for students and adults with complex special needs located in Brewster, MA. Latham Centers also provides educational, clinical and vocational services. At Latham Centers Katrina participates in event planning, community outreach, marketing, and grant writing.
Since the winter of 2014 Katrina has been involved with CCYP, first serving as Secretary and now Co-Chair of the Career Connect Committee. After losing a close friend, she initiated the Live for Lou Fund, a go-thru organization helping to fight the local drug epidemic on Cape Cod and the Islands. In addition to providing scholarships to local athletes, Live for Lou also provides scholarships to professionals returning to Cape to pursue a career in the field of Addiction Therapy and Counseling. She serves as Co-Chair of the fund.
Katrina graduated from Clark University in 2013 with a Master’s of Science in Professional Communication, and worked at Girls Inc. during her college tenure.
