Sue Miles

Sue Miles, a native of Buckingham, Virginia, is a retired high school counselor, former VISTA Volunteer in adult literacy, and former Peace Corps Volunteer in Jamaica (1979–1983). During her service, she worked as a Community Developer in Portland Parish before becoming Program Coordinator for the Jamaica Federation of Women in Kingston. In 1982, she was named Peace Corps Volunteer of the Year for Jamaica.

Since retiring, Sue spends several months a year in Long Bay, Portland—the village where her Peace Corps journey first began. She remains actively involved in local community service, with a strong focus on youth development, serving as a Director of Chesscot United Youth Services, Ltd., and collaborating with a local Community Association.

Over the past five years, Sue has also been advocating for a young child in Portland living with spina bifida. Thanks to support from private donors, an international agency, and Shriners Children's Hospital, the child is now walking with the assistance of braces and a walker.
