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!

Parent Pals

This program connects mentors with parents referred by Brown County Child Protective Services in an effort to provide informal support to families who seek guidance and empowerment. Goals include: 

• Help parents develop essential skills that promote a safe and healthy family environment. 
• Offer emotional and practical support to enhance parenting skills and family dynamics. 
• Foster a meaningful relationship between mentors and parents, based on compatibility and mutual interest. 

Mentors are encouraged to meet with their Parent Pal two to three times per month, providing consistent support and advice. While matches can last as long as both parties are interested, it is hoped that mentors will engage with their Parent Pal for one year. Parents will learn new strategies for parenting and family management. By gaining support, parents can feel more confident in their abilities to provide a nurturing environment. The program contributes to creating a safer and healthier atmosphere for minor children. This mentoring initiative not only enriches the lives of families but also strengthens the community as a whole.
