VSB Highlights
 November 21, 2019
Julie van Egmond: Society for Support to Pregnant and Parenting TeensSociety for Support to Pregnant and Parenting Teens nominates Julie van Egmond for Volunteers of the Week! They wrote ‘Julie is part of our 12-member childcare volunteer team at Pregnant and Parenting Teens. Julie comes in every week (sometimes twice) with a smile on her face and a readiness to engage in meaningful play with the children. At any given time, you can catch Julie making block towers, molding playdough or cuddling an infant to sleep. We are very fortunate to have Julie as part of our team. Donating her time in our childcare room allows the parents a chance to achieve academic, parenting and overall personal success. Thank you Julie!’ |
