Learn More About WYAP And Its purpose!

Join the Westfield Young Professionals on Tuesday, August 8 from 8:00 am to 9:00 am at The Bridgewater Club for an exciting networking event featuring Early Intervention Advocate, Megan Contreras and Communicatons Coordinator, Kristina Logan from Westfield Youth Assistance Program.

Megan Contreras moved with her family as a child to Westfield, IN in 1994 where she attended Westfield’s first “new” elementary school, Shamrock Springs. She grew up in Westfield, graduating from WHS and later attended Butler University for her Bachelor’s Degree and Marian University for her Master’s in Education.

Prior to becoming an advocate, Megan was an educator within WWS and Zionsville Schools and also taught in both IPS and Greenfield while completing her Master’s funded by AmeriCorps. She was a stay-at-home mom briefly and happened upon the opportunity to work with WYAP, and her role as an advocate simply fits like a glove! She values her community greatly and loved the relationship piece about teaching the most, so working with youth holistically was a great fit. “Being able to work with the entire family unit and rally around each individual youth, is my life’s work; I’m so grateful that I get to do this each day, and I wholly believe in the impact of our program.”

Megan’s primary duties include supporting the youth on her caseload to ensure that their individual plan needs are met/continuously supported; ensuring the mentoring and tutoring programming run smoothly; participating in volunteer board efforts and fundraising efforts. Each day is different, with new, unexpected tasks & that’s the name of the game! It’s a joy! Megan resides in Westfield with her husband and daughter.

Kristina Logan just celebrated one year as the Communications Coordinator for Westfield Youth Assistance Program. She is a graduate of Duquesne University (Bachelor of Arts in Communications) and Northeastern University (Masters of Science in Music Industry Leadership). Kristina spent two years living in Seoul, South Korea, working as an English teacher. She loves to travel and experience new cultures and food and has lived in 3 countries and 6 states.
