Be a positive presence in a youth's life 
Learn how at this week's program
 

Have you ever considered mentoring a child?  Partners Mentoring Youth helps match youth age 7-17 with positive adult role models to enrich lives and build community.

Kathy Whitacre, Program Coordinator for Partners Mentoring Youth, will be speaking to our club on Thursday, Sept. 19, at our regular noon meeting. Her program will discuss programs, volunteer opportunities, the youth they serve, and the challenges this younger generation may face. 

Kathy Whitacre

Whitacre worked for 20 years as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Flood Recovery Specialist. After a successful career helping people recover from traumatic injuries and events, she now facilitates building enriching relationships between our youth, adults, and community.
