Connor Brandt is excited to connect with youth as a Friend (mentor) at Friends of the Children – Eastern Oregon. Before joining the team, he spent three years as a paraprofessional at Greenwood Elementary and coached multiple sports, including 4th/5th grade boys’ and girls’ basketball, 7th grade basketball, middle school track and field, and high school football. He continues to coach high school football, a lifelong passion that has taught him valuable lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and growth.

Connor brings his experience in education and coaching to help youth succeed in the classroom and in life. Outside of work, he enjoys going to the movies, exploring his new hobby of golf, and challenging himself to keep learning and improving. He’s looking forward to building strong relationships, learning together, and having fun along the way.
