Max Koch

Max Koch is the Operations & Administration Manager of Usona Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to improving mental health. Having discovered Charities Within Reach through a family friend, Max inquired about and pursued the opportunity to spend the fall of 2013 as a long-term volunteer at Promise Home. Moved by his experience with the kids of Promise Home, and with admiration towards the work that Charities Within Reach was and continues to accomplish, Max was eager to continue his efforts to make a positive difference in the lives of the kids of Promise Home and others in need in the Chiang Rai area by accepting an invitation to join the Board of Directors in January 2016. “Once you meet the kids that have been impacted so positively by Charities Within Reach, it’s impossible to imagine a world where you no longer share a powerful connection with them.”
