    Description

    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 work we do here and in Bay St. Louis, near the electrifying city of New Orleans.

    My colleague, my mother, and I have formed a nonprofit is dedicated to prison reform, youth mentoring, assisting families in need, and supporting a community house. We 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! We just introduced a second adopted doggie into our home - Yak - a 5 lb chihuahua who came from an abusive situation. I also enjoy caring for neighborhood cats and dogs in my free time.

    OUR COMMUNITY HOME:
    Our home just recently opened and is still in the beginning stages of growth. Our goal is to create a sanctuary nestled just 45 minutes from the heart of New Orleans. Here, we wish to cultivate a nonjudgmental space where individuals from diverse backgrounds come together. Our home aims to be a tapestry of laughter, fun, and serious dedication to transformative projects like prison reform, veteran support, and mental health advocacy. I emphasize the importance of meditating together, finding peace and clarity in shared stillness, reinforcing our belief that together is better. It doesn't matter where you came from or what you've been through, you are welcome in our home!

    We are seeking enthusiastic WorkAwayers to join our community and assist with a variety of impactful tasks, including:
    * Youth mentoring
    * Supporting individuals and 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
    * DIY 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

    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.

  • Hébergement

    Hébergement

    In Bay St. Louis, outside of New Orleans, you'll share a home with other volunteers and re-entry residents, creating a close-knit and supportive community. While amenities aren't as close by, you'll find solace in the beautiful beach just 12 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. I work full-time on top of organizing this non-profit and do not have as much free time as I would like (I'm still learning how to take a break LOL). During the week, I'm usually working from 7 AM - 7 PM, Monday to Thursday, so I can only guarantee to be present for dinner. I'll also provide some groceries so you can stock up on your favorite foods.
