As Executive Director at YANA. Kelly has had the honour of working in nonprofit leadership for most of her career. She learned about YANA soon after her family moved to the Comox Valley in 2010.

While working and volunteering in children’s sports, she kept hearing stories about how this wonderful organization helped local children and families. She heard about how the community rallied together to provide donations to make the support possible. To her, YANA represents exactly what makes this such an extraordinary place to live – families, friends, colleagues and community leaders helping, spreading love, and wrapping each other with caring and compassion when it’s needed most. I’m so grateful to be part of this inspiring organization that helps families access the care that they need, knowing their community has their back every step of the way.
