Dawn Duhaime

Executive Director

Dawn has been with Spring Green since 2016 and has created programs such as BAC (Building a Community), a grief support group (After) and also produced and promotes our documentary, ONE, which addresses the opioid crisis in our country and is available on Amazon.

Dawn has over 30 years experience in the field of social work, primarily focusing in the field of education where she served her last 8 years before joining Spring Green as a School Counselor and a Dean.  Dawn currently holds a Bachelors Degree from UT in Social Work and a Masters in General Studies of Human Behavior through Capella University. Dawn is the mother of Justin, who lost his life to addiction in July of 2019 at the young age of 22. Justin's legacy has prompted both his mom and the Foundation to work tirelessly to impact the opioid crisis in our community and lead others to finding their true, authentic self.   

“If you really knew me… you would know ever since I was a child I felt called to be a voice for those who have lost theirs.  I live faithfully by the words of Desmond Tutu who said ‘If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen to side with the oppressor.’  I love to grow personally and spiritually and to use this knowledge to positively impact the lives of others.  If you really knew me my loyalty is to God’s truth and I seek this above all else. Most of all, the greatest love and teacher of my life has been and will forever by my son, Justin.”
