We are so excited to welcome Shauna as our new area director for Hinsdale South Young Life! She will be interacting with our teens, guiding our leaders and growing our presence in the community. Shauna just moved to Westmont from Richmond, Indiana as her husband, Dakota, accepted a video content creator for Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park. Shauna previously headed the Young Life chapter in Richmond. She has been involved with Young Life since high school and her passion and enthusiasm for the program is obvious.
