MEET CARRIE ZOULEK!!

Carrie, daughter of Jack Zoulek — one of the founders of the original DZ Den Teen Zone — has been a steady light and incredible influence at The Depot Teen Center over the past five years. Community service truly runs in her blood, just like her mother, Jean Petie, who lives her life serving others with grace and compassion.

Our teens absolutely love Carrie and look forward to every moment they get with her. She believes in them deeply — encouraging them to reach higher, dream bigger, and build a better today, tomorrow, and future. Whether she’s lending a hand at events, mentoring a teen, offering encouragement, or sending a thoughtful message to our staff and volunteers, Carrie shows up with heart — again and again.

People like Carrie remind us what community really means: giving, lifting others up, and quietly making a difference in ways that ripple far beyond what we can see. Thank you, Carrie, for the way you pour into The Depot and into our community. Your kindness, leadership, and love truly matter — and we are so grateful for you!
