I am so excited to share this interview with my audience. Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and encouraged. This is a great follow-up to our series on “Finding Your Voice” with young adults.
In this episode, we hear from Lorie Payne (last name was Goggin at the time of recording), Executive Director of Reset Mentoring in Williamson County. Reset Mentoring works with youth in the juvenile justice system in central Texas.
From their website:
Working exclusively with Williamson County Juvenile Services,
Reset Mentoring is a non-profit organization that was created to help teens RESET their lives... Whatever that looks like for them! Over the past 10 years, we have found that one size fits all just doesn’t work. The teens we work with are as different as you and me. They have their God-given talents, dreams, and future and we have found that for them to succeed long-term we need to walk alongside them in their next best step.
Lorie’s bio:
Lorie is a mom to three grown children, Maggie, Mason and Sarah and a nana to her two sweet grandbabies who she absolutely adores, Frankie and Maxton! In addition to raising children of her own, Lorie is a published author and has worked with teens in both church and school settings. When she began volunteering inside the Williamson County Juvenile Justice Center in November of 2009, she never imagined that God would call her to begin a faith-based mentoring program to help youth at-risk in our community. However, over the last 14 years, she has used her degree in education plus her background in managing call centers and instructional design to help create programs and build teams to come around the youth once they have been released back into the community. Besides nana and mother, it has been her favorite role, and she hopes to continue building bridges and safety nets that will allow the teens that Reset Mentoring serves to continue to develop, learn and grow into their full potential.
