This month we are excited to feature a volunteer who joined us about a year ago to complete a special project: Katie Reichardt.
"Katie stepped in at a critical moment to help the YWRC create better systems for engaging with volunteers and tracking their impact. Her time and energy will have a long-lasting ripple effect supporting all aspects of YWRC programming." – Sonia Ashe, YWRC Director of External Affairs

Childcare Volunteers
While we begin holding groups in person, we are looking to build a team of Childcare volunteers. These volunteers provide our Young Mom’s children with a safe space to play while their parent learns critical skills, financial literacy, what to expect during/after pregnancy and more. Ideal volunteers are friendly, responsible, and have experience working with infants/children.
