President

Kelly Patel

Supervisor

  • Kelly Patel has been a part of this great community since 2007. I have three boys enrolled in the Oregon School District. I enjoy the outdoors and love to garden. I take pleasure in being able to walk through Anderson Park and going to the Dane County Dog Park. The pickleball courts are enjoyed by my whole family. I love riding my moped and my Jeep with the top off during the warmer weather months. To me, this is a form of therapy.

    The Oregon Youth Center plays a vital role in the growth and well-being of this community. I love how it provides a safe, inclusive environment for adolescents to go to on a regular basis and have a sense of belonging and feeling welcomed. I am honored to be able to collaborate with the youth that attend the Youth Center, Director, and Board Members.
