Sara McChesney, MSW
About Me:
I am a native of the area and live in Pardeeville. I married my high school sweetheart, and we have three fur children: Remi, Winston, and Izzy. I have worked with children and families for over 14 years. I earned a bachelor's degree in Human Services from UW-Oshkosh and recently graduated with a Master of Social Work from Winona State University, Minnesota.
My passion has always been to serve others, bringing me to where I am today. As the Program Coordinator, I have the fantastic opportunity to work with youth and caring adults to form healthy and stable relationships in our communities. I know firsthand the impact that mentoring can make, and I hope you will join me in our movement. Together, we can transform our communities through the power of mentoring!
