Our goal is not to tell Youth what to do or what not to do. Our goal is to Empower Youth so that they can make healthy, informed-decisions on their own.

She has had the opportunity to offer support and leadership in a variety of roles, in a variety of places: here in Swift Current, as well as in Quebec, England, and France.

“My commitment to my community is strongly connected to an ongoing passion to work with, support and get to know people. Dorie’s House is a perfect example of what a community can build and it continues to show us the power and endurance of a positive force. I believe the core of Dorie’s House is providing kindness, knowledge, hope and connection in order to offer the opportunity to make choices to create a better future. I share this vision and have worked for years, through various roles, with the same goal in mind: supporting and helping individuals so that they may be able to choose a more positive path forward.”
