Michelle Smith
Sr. Community Engagement Director
Family Since: May, 2022
I come into organizations to provide interactive training and coaching for staff and volunteers, helping them stay engaged, invested, and effective. After decades of serving my community and experiencing burnout myself, I learned the importance of bringing fun into everyday tasks and working smarter, not harder. It’s now my mission to help others who love to serve do the same.
​
What does working at DuCAP mean to you?
Teens are amazing and do so many great things in this world, but not everyone realizes that. I feel blessed to be surrounded by bright teens who love to serve and the adults who mentor them. I love being able to use my God-given talents and connections to guide and lead our volunteers so they can make an even bigger impact in their communities.

Shantina Boyd
Community Engagement Assistant
Family Since: September, 2025
I am a member of the local Bolingbrook and Romeoville community and have been involved in youth outreach since 2018. My purpose-driven desire is to connect youth and adults to local volunteer opportunities, especially when challenges are experienced firsthand within our own neighborhoods.
​
What does working at DuCAP mean to you?
I appreciate that each DuCAP town is an intergenerational community that cultivates leaders. Teens are empowered to lead, while adults are able to serve youth using their professional skills. Teens are given space to be creative and responsible, with adult support to ask questions and be held accountable.

Myeisha McClinton
Marketing Assistant
Family Since: September, 2025
I’m a creative professional who enjoys living in an authentic way and using storytelling and marketing to bring ideas to life. After six years in healthcare, I took a leap of faith to follow what truly feels aligned. I don’t believe people should feel like they’re doing “homework,” and I believe in feeding the soul by giving to others.
​
What does working at DuCAP mean to you?
Youth aren’t the future, they’re the right now. I believe in creating spaces where teens feel seen, supported, and trusted to lead in the moment, not later. Being part of work that pours into youth and community at the same time is what keeps me aligned and inspired.
