Meredith is All in for Kids because: “I have felt passionate about working with children since I was an adolescent and have been working with them ever since. I, not only genuinely enjoy spending time with and supporting children, but I also feel that it is a crucial and vulnerable stage in life where a consistent, caring, empathetic adult can greatly impact the trajectory of their lives.”
