Kelli Van Doren is Love Columbia's Coaching Programs Manager. She began volunteering in March of 2015 and 18 months later became the Extra Mile Program Coordinator.

Jane Williams, Executive Director, says, "Kelli can get more done than anyone we know. She is a high-level multi-tasker who can take a client’s call for help, untangle a financial dilemma, and send a volunteer out on a mission as she is walking to her car to visit a newly homeless family.”

In 2023, Kelli moved into her current role as Coaching Programs Manager to officially oversee all Love Columbia coaching: credit-building, budget, housing, career, transportation, and life purpose.

She says, “I love getting to work with our amazing coaches—both staff and volunteers and love to celebrate with them and their participants as they make progress and see successes.”
