Dayle Ann Marvin loves working with children and has spent most of her life in an educational capacity. As a teenager, growing up in Idaho, she led youth groups, was a counselor in summer camps and had a Sunday School class. During college, her interests expanded to the great outdoors where she worked for Outward Bound, a small logging company, the Youth Conservation Corp and, on a college rock-climbing trip, she would meet her future husband. She found her “niche” in private education when she and her husband settled in Oregon. She spent 27 years teaching children, teaching Spanish and taking groups of youth on outdoor adventures to share her love of the fresh air and beauty available around Oregon.   

Growing up in the 60’s, her mother was an activist for civil rights and peace, and now the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Upon retiring from teaching, Dayle Ann has turned to volunteer avenues for helping people navigate the waters of our changing society as it suffers from the deterioration of morals. She became the Executive Director for The Way to Happiness, Oregon Chapter in November 2020 and really enjoys the simple task of helping others to improve the conditions of their lives.
