Marnie started working at Attention Homes in 2012 as the interim volunteer coordinator and stayed until 2015. After leaving as an employee, she still stayed connected. For the last two years Marnie has volunteered on the Street Outreach Team and also helps with our annual Sleep Out and Kaleidoscope events.
Why do you volunteer for AH?
"I believe that if we want to change the world we need to begin with our own community. Attention Homes makes a difference in our community by reaching out to those kids who need to know that they are not lost or forgotten."
Can you share a success story you've seen?
"My first experience with a trans-gendered youth was at Attention Homes and it stuck with me. When this young man first came to The Source he would barely speak to others. With staff support, he completed his education, found a job, and is now working and thriving in Boulder."
