Frederick Place

Today was bittersweet for Frederick Place!

After nearly 3 years of service as a Case Manager at Frederick Place, Alec Klabunde passed his house key to another staff member with a ‘see ya around’. Alec started at Frederick Place on overnights in October 2023, and would from time to time pick up day shifts.

His fellow staff members are sad to see him leave, yet, also very excited for his new career beginnings.

Alec is one of our several college students who appreciated the flexibility of employment at Frederick Place, enjoyed (*most days) working with our residents, and made an incredible impact on nearly 300 lives during his time at Frederick Place.

Staff appreciated his thoughtful leadership and approach when working with residents. Residents appreciated the steady encouragement & accountability he provided.

Alec is entering the workforce in his chosen field of study… He’ll be local, so if you see him about, please thank him for his dedicated service to our Northwoods’ Unhoused Neighbors.

Are you a college student or retiree? Consider joining us for our evening shifts. It’s an opportunity to connect with humans at their most vulnerability while truly impacting and changing lives.

Alec’s final testimony shared when suggested he should consider the field of human services, “I’ve been able to make a difference in my time at Frederick Place, while it’s time for me to grow in my career of choice, it was truly rewarding.”

Thank you, Alec! We’re going to miss you!
