Gwendolyn Hudson

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Maine announces Gwendolyn Hudson has been named executive director, leading the state’s second largest BBBS youth mentoring organization that serves seven counties and over 700 youth facing adversity in Midcoast, Kennebec Valley, eastern and central Maine.

Hudson has been with BBBS of Mid-Maine for over five years, serving first as community-based director and most recently as human resources director. Her leadership in these capacities brings to the new position important knowledge and experience in youth-based mentoring programming and agency management. Board Chairman Edward W. Gould, Esq., called Hudson “the perfect person to continue the agency’s longstanding, successful mission.”

Hudson is a graduate of the University of Maine where she received an undergraduate degree in Spanish, German and Anthropology and a master’s degree in education. She was a middle school teacher at Chinle Junior High School on the Navajo Reservation, in Arizona, before returning to Maine to teach at Gardiner Regional Middle School and later joining Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mid-Maine in 2012. She is a 2016 graduate of Midcoast Leadership Academy.

“I’ve had the privilege of working with an outstanding staff and board of directors who, with the support of many community partners, are dedicated to changing kids’ lives for the better,” Hudson said.

Hudson lives in Rockport with her husband, Mark Breton, and daughters Bella and Julia Mae.
