Descripción
Hi there! I'm a 31-year-old Canadian female living in the sunny paradise of Clearwater, Florida. As a psychologist, I travel across the US, but my heart belongs to the vibrant community work we do here and in Bay St. Louis, near the electrifying city of New Orleans.
Our nonprofit is dedicated to youth mentoring, assisting families in need, and supporting our community house. I also extend our compassion to veterans by providing essential mental health support. My mission as a WorkAway Host is to offer a rich cultural exchange, enlightening people from around the world about the intricacies of poverty and mental health within the American healthcare and justice systems.
I also have a deep love for animals! Although my beloved 16-year-old chihuahua, Snickers, has passed away (you'll see many pictures of him on my page!), I now have a lively Pomeranian puppy who keeps me on my toes. He loves running around the dog park and has boundless energy! I also enjoy caring for neighborhood cats and dogs in my free time.

Join us in our dynamic nonprofit efforts in Clearwater, Florida, and Bay St. Louis, near the vibrant New Orleans, and make a real difference!
OUR VIBRANT COMMUNITY HOME:
Our sanctuary nestled just 45 minutes from the heart of New Orleans. Here, we cultivate a nonjudgmental space where individuals from diverse backgrounds come together, united by a shared commitment to meaningful change. Our home is a dynamic tapestry of laughter, fun, and serious dedication to transformative projects like prison reform, veteran support, and mental health advocacy. We meditate together, finding peace and clarity in shared stillness, reinforcing our belief that together is better. Whether you're helping with house maintenance, cooking, pet care, or engaging in heartfelt conversations, you'll find a welcoming environment where your contributions are valued and your spirit is uplifted.
We are seeking enthusiastic WorkAwayers to join our vibrant community and assist with a variety of impactful tasks, including:
* Youth mentoring and supporting families grappling with incarceration
* Assisting with cognitive assessments
* Providing support to veterans
* Caring for my energetic Pomeranian puppy
* Pet sitting for neighborhood dogs and cats
* DYI projects for our community house
* Promoting our cause through social media and marketing
Let us know your preferences, and we'll tailor the experience to your strengths and interests!
What We Offer:
* A comfortable bedroom and bathroom shared with other passionate WorkAwayers
* Groceries and some meals in the house
* Deep insights into the American justice and mental health systems
* Professional development opportunities for students in psychology, law, or criminal justice
We're looking for individuals who are:
* Able to stay at least 3 weeks
* Open-minded and LGBTQ+ affirmative
* Enthusiastic and empathetic
* Passionate about social justice and helping others
* Interested in psychology and social justice
* Dog lovers
* Eager to explore and experience new cultures
We're open to accepting families, pets, and couples.
Our work is rooted in nonprofit efforts, and we rely heavily on the dedication and passion of our volunteers to sustain our mission. We do operate on a limited budget and, unfortunately, cannot afford to pay for everyone's expenses or offer financial compensation. While I provide food in the house to ensure that basic needs are met, any additional outings, such as dining out, will need to be covered by the WorkAwayers themselves.

Alojamiento
In Clearwater, you'll stay in a luxury apartment with my 20-year-old brother and I. Our tropical apartment complex features a stunning pool, office space, clubhouse, and gym. I can share pictures and videos of our apartment and the room you'll share with fellow WorkAwayers. Our neighborhood offers walkable restaurants and stores. I'm happy to take you around in my free time, or you can use my car with an international driver's license. The beautiful beach is just a 20-minute drive away.
In Bay St. Louis, outside of New Orleans, you'll share a welcoming home with other volunteers and residents, creating a close-knit and supportive community. While amenities aren't as close by, you'll find solace in the beautiful beach just 10 minutes away, perfect for relaxation and reflection. You'll also have access to a car most of the time, making it easier to explore the local area and engage in various activities. Our community home is a place where you can truly make a difference, whether it's through supporting individuals affected by incarceration, assisting with assessments, providing support to veterans, pet sitting, or undertaking DIY projects to enhance our living space.
While I provide food in the house to ensure that basic needs are met, any additional outings, such as dining out, will need to be covered by the WorkAwayers themselves.
Feel free to enjoy snacks in the house and cook your own meals. During the week, I'm usually out from 7 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday, so I can only guarantee one meal (usually dinner). I'll also provide some groceries so you can stock up on your favorite foods.
