Hello, I’m Jeff Webster, a devoted father to my daughter, Maddison, and an experienced foster parent. At 44, I’ve navigated the ups and downs of parenthood, learning valuable lessons in patience, resilience, and love along the way.

My journey has included sleepless nights, milestone celebrations, and many quiet moments of connection. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the challenges and rewards of raising children.

Volunteering is my way of giving back to the community that has supported me. I want to mentor other dads because I know the profound impact a positive role model can have. By sharing my experiences, I aim to offer guidance, support, and encouragement to fathers who might need a listening ear or some advice.

I enjoy spending time at theme parks with the children, cooking family meals, and engaging in community service projects, all of which enrich my life and help me bond with my daughter. I look forward to connecting with other fathers, sharing our stories, and supporting each other in the adventure of parenthood.

My name is Dave Pagano. I am so excited for the opportunity to mentor fathers like me. I am fifty-six years old, have five children, and I still talk with my dad and other men several times a week. I would like to give that same opportunity to other fathers.

I believe I am a natural fit for being a mentor to men and fathers. I have worked with faith-based men’s recovery programs for the past twenty years. And because of my experience with raising my children and staying family focused, I had to learned to persevere through many challenges and adversities. I have learned it is only possible with the help from other men (fathers) and God.

Hello, my name is Stacie and I’m excited about this journey and the opportunity to bless other parents through the reunification process by providing skills, services, and knowledge to help them successfully achieve and maintain their parenting goals. As a mother of four (Ages 22, 21, 19, and 15), I understand the hardships of navigating the challenges of working with children throughout the various stages of life and hope to bring a listening ear as well as much-needed support and guidance. I have an extensive background in early childhood education and recently obtained my master’s degree in human services counseling. One of the best things about working with others and being a mentor is watching them grow confident in their abilities to start believing in themselves!

Hello, my name is Rochelle Alley. I run a small business helping non-profits and governmental organizations to help support families in the community. I am grateful I have had the opportunity to help others through both my work and personal pursuits. I started volunteering over 20 years ago, teaching women in prison and volunteering at church.

Parenting is hard even in the best of circumstances and children don’t come with an instruction manual. It can be even harder when life is complex; money is short; unstable housing; feelings of isolation; struggling with mental health or addiction.  And at the same time,

I have seen through work and personal connections how foundational it is when families are able to successfully reunify, and how powerfully so many parents are able to successfully step up to reconnect with their children.

I have 2 children, in 6^th and 8^th grades, who keep me learning and growing as a parent – both of whom like music, sports, math and reading.  One of my children has had special needs, so I am familiar with the process of advocating in the schools and know how helpful it can be to have a fellow parent by your side who understands the journey.

I am looking forward as a mentor to being able to be that person “by your side” for parents who are looking for support as they weather their current journey.
