This year, the staff of TSS is happy to be joined by AmeriCorps Volunteer Alex Coak as our Recreational Activities Coordinator.

Originally from the coastal plains of the eastern U.S., Alex moved to Walla Walla to experience a new region and a new role as a member of AmeriCorps. Alex’s role is to assist Outreach & Education Coordinator Andrew Bassler with education projects in conjunction with local schools and organizations, as well as assist with and develop events to foster recreational angling and a conservation mindset amongst members of the community. In his free time, Alex enjoys taking part in a range of outdoor activities from fishing to hiking, as well as meeting new faces and seeing new places.
