Meet the Wealth Management Vice President Who Also Trains Service Dogs
Jolene Jackelen has volunteered with Helping Paws MN for 15 years, helping make the world more accessible for people with physical disabilities and post-traumatic stress disorder
Jolene Jackelen always loved dogs and always loved volunteering in the community. A chance encounter with a family friend in a grocery store 15 years ago set her on a path to meld the two passions.
“She had an assistance dog she was training, and as she told me about it I realized it was something I wanted to do, too,” said Jackelen, who has gone on to volunteer thousands of hours and trained two service dogs through the nonprofit Helping Paws MN.
