Our Staff
Abby Ledvina | Executive Director
Over the past 12 years, I’ve served in numerous roles at the Mauthe Center. My dedication is because of the mission to be inclusive and to bridge people of all walks of life. Fr. Mauthe inspired me years ago to be a more welcoming and compassionate individual in a world that can be divided and controversial. My work at the Center is to make it a place that builds community and uplifts the whole person. This year’s goal is to build a team and plan that elevates the Center to the larger Green Bay community. We do great work here and I know Fr. Mauthe would be proud to see his legacy live on.

Jaimes Johnson | Director of Community Engagement
The opportunity to connect people to address needs and work together to improve lives is at the heart of my passion. The Mauthe Center gives me that opportunity. It’s working to help individuals grow their relationships and community aligns perfectly. When you get up every day knowing that you have a chance to make a difference “that makes a difference” is what inspires me about my work at the Center. I look forward to connecting with you!

Dr. Robert Pyne | Program Director
My role at the Mauthe Center resonates well with my passion for human flourishing and the work I enjoy as an educator and connector. I was a professor for many years, and my academic teaching and writing has focused on religion, sustainable peace, and human rights. I have served on the staff or the board for several non-profit organizations, working primarily in international peace building and refugee integration, and I have led institutional programs to promote environmental sustainability, civic engagement, and socially responsible practices. At the Mauthe Center, my role is to design and host educational programs that create space for curiosity, reflection, and respectful conversation, addressing vital concerns as we seek to move forward together. I often find myself saying, “I really care about this stuff," and I do. I want to see individuals and communities doing enormously well, and I think we can help make that happen.

Shania Johnson | Student Coordinator
I am very passionate about social justice issues and legal reform. This is something that I consider to be a driving force in my life and it's part of why The Mauthe Center is such a good fit for me. The mission at the center is one of inclusion and peace and this really speaks to the work I’ve done throughout my undergraduate education. Something else that drives me is my family. I am extremely grateful for the people in my life and I think about them with every decision I make.

Carter Goke | Student Coordinator
One thing that I consider a driving force in my life is being able to help others. That is why the Mauthe Center is a great fit for me. In the centers mission, it makes it a point that they are here to help people grow through sharing, learning, celebration and service. This resonates with me as that is what I want to achieve here as well. In everything I do I think about how it will affect them. Here at the Mauthe, I hope to reach with outreach and being able to connect people to each other.
