A Little About My Role at PYM
As the Director of Development, Joe strives to build relationships with people passionate about Quakerism to ensure PYM has the resources it needs to conduct its critical work and empower Friends to be changemakers in their communities. He uses empathetic and consistent outreach to connect Friends with critical work and projects they care about so that PYM can continue to build a strong network of active Monthly Meetings and Quakers.
About Joe
Joe Kirkenir took advantage of his time earning an English degree at Gettysburg College by exposing himself to diverse viewpoints through powerful literature and rallying the campus community around great causes. Upon graduation, he began his career in nonprofit fundraising, leading the development efforts for Big Brothers Big Sisters of York and Adams Counties and the YMCA of the Roses.
Joe’s passion for fundraising extends to his robust volunteer life, where he serves as the Fundraising Chair on the boards of Lancaster Pride and The Common Wheel and as President of the Association of Fundraising Professionals – Central PA Chapter and the Animal Advocates of South Central PA.
Joe lives in Lancaster, PA, with his wife, Mandy, and two cats, Victor and Nona. He is a member of the York Monthly Meeting in York, and, in addition to nonprofit fundraising, his passions include ultrarunning, reading, and cooking.
