At Uplifme, we’re dedicated to showcasing the remarkable work of organizations making a difference in our communities. In our latest episode of Community Connections, we have the pleasure of featuring Zakiyyah Boone, the CEO of Wonderspring, in conversation with our own Katrina Pratt Roebuck.
Watch the full interview here:
Wonderspring, a nonprofit providing high-quality early childhood education and school-age care services, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Zakiyyah Boone shares exciting news about their first-ever poverty simulation event happening in just a few weeks.
This poverty simulation will immerse community leaders and volunteers in the everyday challenges faced by families living in poverty. By engaging in this eye-opening experience, participants will gain empathy and a deeper understanding of the struggles these families encounter. Wonderspring believes that a cross-sector approach built on empathy is essential for improving how we serve our community.
Zakiyyah highlights Wonderspring’s comprehensive programs, from infant and toddler care to before-and-after school programs and summer camps, serving around 800 children annually. With a commitment to quality, diversity, and inclusion, Wonderspring ensures every child, family, and staff member feels they belong.
