About Me
Hi! I am a YR alum C/o '14, and I am now the coordinator for the Vanderburgh Co. Teen Court program. It has been a full circle experience for me because I was also a Teen Court volunteer in high school. I have loved every moment of my job, and it has been truly rewarding to get the opportunity to work with such bright young students from all of YR's programs. It's so humbling watching my co-workers (and best friends!) work so hard and dedicate themselves to the betterment of our youth and community! YR means so much to me; it's more than just an organization. It is a family with members all over the wold who have been impacted by the many youth and adult volunteers that readily give themselves up for others.
More Info
YR Day supports all four of Youth Resources programs as well as specific needs within the agency (review our crowdfunding campaigns in this packet on those needs). We use YR Day funds to buy supplies for programs (donuts, folders, nametags, markers, pens, paper, snacks, etc.) and to support the salaries of our phenomenal team of YR staff members. You know ‘em & love ‘em: Ferg, Bailey, Lauren, Jessica, Jessie & JoJo!
What is YR Day?
YR Day is a 24-hour online party and fundraising event for YR and the people who make YR possible (that’s you). Whether you’re a student, alumni, parent, volunteer or just a fan with a special place in your heart for YR - this celebration is for you!
Now, you might be asking, “If YR Day is a celebration for me, then why am I being asked to give?”
The truth is, the life changing programs that YR provides to area youth are largely dependent on private support. So while celebrating YR’s present and past is definitely worthwhile, it’s also our responsibility to look ahead to future students. Their YR experiences are not yet guaranteed, which is why we ask for your help.
