Anya Tadych is our volunteer of the week and the recipient in the Youth Category at the 2026 Volunteer Awards, presented by Wisconsin Public Service Foundation!
House of Hope Green Bay is the region's only emergency shelter dedicated to the unique needs of young people and their children who are experiencing homelessness, aging out of foster care, or fleeing dangerous situations such as human trafficking. Within this mission, Anya has made an extraordinary and lasting impact. Since beginning her volunteer service at just 14 years old, Anya has devoted the past three years to advancing the organization's fundraising and community engagement efforts. What started as helping at the annual Touchdowns for Hope gala quickly grew into a leadership role, where she now recruits, trains, and coordinates youth volunteers. Anya has also been a driving force behind major fundraising campaigns, including Give BIG Green Bay.
Demonstrating remarkable growth, Anya was asked to join House of Hope's board of directors at just 16 years old. In this role, she brings a perspective that strengthens the organization's governance and decision-making. Her voice ensures that the board considers the viewpoints of young people, the very population House of Hope exists to serve, when setting strategy and priorities.
Anya's efforts have inspired her peers to get involved, expanded awareness of youth homelessness, and helped break down stigma through her advocacy and leadership. Thank you, Anya, for your commitment to transforming a community!
