Today's Outstanding Woman is,
Kathy Chapman of Rexford
Kathy has been an invaluable member of the CAPTAIN Community Human Services Family Development Mentoring Program since 2016, going beyond the typical mentor role. With warmth and authenticity, she empowers individuals experiencing poverty, providing guidance and support to help them move from surviving to thriving. Kathy's generosity extends to daily personalized "good morning" texts and inspirational quotes for all program participants. In crises, she dedicates herself to helping mentees facing abuse, mental health issues, addiction, and financial crises, offering love, wisdom, and strength. Many have achieved lasting change, such as starting businesses, leaving abusive relationships, and gaining stable housing or employment. Kathy co-facilitates Getting Ahead classes, contributing to the program's impact, and serves on the Family Development Steering Committee, shaping policies and programs. Despite volunteering 60-80 hours monthly, Kathy maintains a contagious sense of humor. Her dedication and positive influence have transformed numerous lives, making her an indispensable asset to CAPTAIN.
