Victoria Olson is the new community facilitator with the Portage Community Revitalization Corporation. Olson outlines the experience that prepared her for the the position.

"I came from a corrections background. And I really just wanted to get more involved in the community side of things. I saw the opening for the PCRC and I thought that it was a really good opportunity. I was familiar with the organization as I'd volunteered previously with them."

She says there's a lot in common between her former position in corrections and the new role with the PCRC.

"Well in a way it's the same. It's working with people to promote healthy, happy lifestyles and community. And that's what my role is here. It's community facilitator. I'm so excited to be here. The PCRC is such a wonderful organization that really is going to expand the direction that Portage is taking in such a good way."
