Program Manager Jenny Batten Celebrating 20 Years with Project Success!

This month, we are celebrating Jenny Batten, Program Manager – Outdoor Adventures and Global Experiences, for 20 years of working to help students connect to their purpose at Project Success! Since 2001, Jenny has been a critical part of almost all of our external programs, particularly in laying the foundation for our theater, college tours, boundary waters trips, outdoor adventures, and global experiences.

Jenny is a respected and loved leader within Project Success and in the community and in the last few years has focused her energy on creating incredible outdoor and global experiences for students.

Adrienne Diercks, Executive Director, has this to say about Jenny: “Jenny’s passion and dedication to students and their families over these 20 years has impacted more lives, in more ways, than could ever be measured. She has helped to build Project Success into what it is today.

“One of the things that makes Jenny extraordinary is not only what she has created and led for students and families, but it is HOW she does her work – with dedication to students and their needs, with dedication to details, quality, and excellence – and with flexibility to all the changes that occur inevitably.

“She has done this work with love, humility, and strength. Always guided by our Project Success values and driven by our mission. Always learning and listening with focus, passion, and joy.”
