We’re joined by Shannan Stavinoha, the Executive Director of Parks Youth Ranch, to discuss her extensive volunteer and development experience in the Fort Bend community. After beginning her career in finance, Shannan soon realized her calling really was to serve, and her areas of focus over the years have been on helping children and developmentally disabled adults receive the essential services and support they need to survive and thrive. 

In this episode, Shannan, Aimee, and Emily discuss:

• Transitioning from the financial services industry to development and volunteer work
• Hearing the call to return to Fort Bend and help her community time and time again
• Advocating for children and disabled adults through her personal and professional life
• Embracing her role in Parks Youth Ranch 
• Understanding and identifying needs in our community
