Celebrating Our Incredible Team!

At WE CAN, we are grateful for the dedicated individuals who bring our mission to life every day. This month, we are proud to celebrate two remarkable team members as they mark special milestones with us.

Priscilla Bellerose is celebrating her second anniversary, and Marina Mendoza-Burris is celebrating eight years with WE CAN. Their commitment, compassion, and expertise make a lasting impact on our organization and in the lives of the women and families we serve. We are honored to have them as part of the WE CAN team, and grateful for the care they bring to our community.

Thank You, Priscilla Bellerose

Participant Engagement Coordinator

For the past two years, Priscilla Bellerose has been a valued member of the WE CAN team, bringing warmth, compassion, and professional expertise to her role as Participant Engagement Coordinator. A licensed clinical social worker with a Master of Social Work from Boston College, Priscilla’s career has been grounded in supporting women, children, and families across private non-profits and public schools.

Priscilla’s passion for connection and community shines through in her everyday work. She builds trust with participants, listens with care, and ensures they feel supported as they take meaningful steps forward. Her thoughtful presence and dedication help women feel seen, heard, and empowered from the moment they walk through our doors.

Outside of work, Priscilla enjoys time outdoors and is a certified forest therapy guide. Whether finding calm in nature or exploring the beauty of New Hampshire, she brings a sense of groundedness and peace to all she does. A Brewster resident for over 30 years, her deep love for this community is part of what makes her work so impactful.

Thank you, Priscilla, for the heart, wisdom, and commitment you bring to WE CAN and to the women and families we serve. We are grateful for you and proud to celebrate your second anniversary!

Thank You, Marina Mendoza-Burris

Senior Program Manager

Since joining WE CAN in November 2017, Marina Mendoza-Burris has been a trusted, compassionate leader and an essential part of our team. Originally from Sonora, Mexico, Marina earned her B.A. in Psychology from the University of Sonora and previously served as a social worker in Hermosillo. After relocating to Cape Cod, she taught Spanish and launched an online retail business, bringing both her professional expertise and entrepreneurial spirit to our community.

Earlier this year, Marina was promoted to Senior Program Manager, where she oversees all one-to-one services, including our legal, financial, work and business support programs. She ensures women have access to the right resources, guidance, and encouragement as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward brighter futures. Her leadership, empathy, and commitment help women feel supported and confident every step of the way.

Marina lives in Brewster with her husband, their three children, and their dog, Lolly. When she is not supporting participants or strengthening community partnerships, she can be found cheering on her kids at sports, spending time outdoors, and enjoying all that Cape Cod has to offer with her family.

Thank you, Marina, for your dedication, your leadership, and the deep care you bring to WE CAN. We are grateful for your service and proud to celebrate your 8-year anniversary!
