GENEVIEVE WIRTH

Describe your role.

“As a nonprofit executive and volunteer board member for three community organizations, I aim to develop a better quality of life for historically marginalized residents. I’m passionate about combatting systemic discrimination and removing obstacles it has caused. At work, I lead a team of seventeen to provide programs to underserved youth related to personal, professional, and educational development opportunities. In my volunteerism, I focus on providing additional resources related to food security and other enrichments.” What inspires you to help others?

“I believe every child deserves access to the support necessary to be successful, regardless of the zip code into which they were born. I was blessed with opportunities, guidance, and a network to foster success. However, I realize that not everyone has access to the support needed to succeed. My drive to serve is rooted in creating equity and developing a support system for the kids whose life circumstances did not provide them with one.”
