The service group “Chicktime” is hosting a special volunteer event at New Life Children’s Center Saturday, August 11th, with leader Lora Williams guiding the activities – to include discussion about making good decisions along with beauty tips and “Princessy” things.
Lora Williams can relate. Her life growing up was very similar to the backgrounds of the girls at New Life. She is the founding leader of the Chicktime San Marcos chapter and volunteers extensively as a mentor and life coach with the girls in the Gary Job Corp program.
Lora is a walking success story of intervention, and she has dedicated her life to showing young women that there is life after abuse. Lora put herself through school, is now a Registered Nurse, and is still continuing her education. Lora is the founding leader of World Vision’s Austin Women of Vision chapter. She advocates “locally and globally for better laws to protect marginalized women and children on planet earth.” She also has a heart for Kenya and works to alleviate the suffering in that country through fundraising and raising awareness among local churches.
Chicktime volunteers needed and appreciated!
Chicktime is a grass roots movement created to serve the next generation, by bringing together groups of women using their unique gifts in the service of others. Chicktime New Life encourages the girls at the Center through structured interaction and fun projects every month that bring a bright spot into their lives.
Chicktime always welcomes new volunteers! If you’re in Central Texas and want to make a difference in the lives of the troubled young women (ages 11-17) at New Life, Chicktime is a wonderful way to get involved and make new friends. Chicktime is a “no-commitment” organization so if someone only comes once just to check out New Life, that’s okay. Chicktime appreciates any and all opportunities to show off the work New Life does to help these deserving girls! Interested?
