Trina Ricks Named Official Executive Director!


Trina Ricks, Executive Director
We know we need to post more .... we really do ...... but this has been a very busy year at The Youth Source.  In the past six months, we've moved, we've brought in new volunteers, we've added some Board members, we started a FREE After School Program to help kids stay focused on their studies and homework, and now we're in the midst of our brand new 2013 Summer Camp Program!  And we accomplished all this (miraculously) without benefit of an official Director.

Well, that's changed too ..... The Youth Source Board voted June 10, 2013 to make Mrs. Trina Ricks the official Executive Director of The Youth Source.  Trina has been acting as both Interim Director and Interim Board Chairperson for better than one year, and has earned the trust and admiration of all who have worked with her in that capacity.   With reorganization of this youth-oriented non-profit just about completed, the Board of Directors recognized that it was time to turn over the reins of the everyday work of the organization to a formal Director to administer the organization's growing list of programs and clients. 

We thank Trina for all she has done to bring people together to work toward making our new direction a reality, and look forward to great things from her in the future.

This leaves the position of Board Chairman vacant, but it will hopefully soon be filled by vote from the Board members.
