Directors

Sheena Fayowski found, through her work at a youth centre in East Vancouver, that there is a great need for an all-ages venue that is drug and alcohol free and inclusive to all forms of musical expression, making it a safe space for everyone to use. This has inspired her to get more involved with the Safe Amplification Site Society. Sheena was elected to the Safe Amp board of directors in April 2010 and, with Marita, co-chairs our Outreach Committee and is our Volunteer Co-co-ordinator. Previously, she helped with our Fundraising Committee, worked outreach with other youth organizations and helped to create our display board. To contact her, email sheena@safeamp.org.
