Giving Back to the Communities Karina Calls Home
It is said, “To whom much is given, much will be required.” This resonates with me because when my heart is humbled by gratitude for my blessings, I am galvanized to give back. Gratitude has been pivotal in my life, and has inspired me to consider these important charitable causes.

RBPD Domestic Violence Advocacy Program
This program provides emergency assistance and support to victims of domestic violence. Their goal is to educate families about the cycle of violence, connect victims with community resources, and refer batterers to programs that help develop the skills needed to live free from rage, power, and control.
YoungLife
YoungLife provides fun, skill-building experiences for adolescents of every ability and all economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds. Navigating life can often be challenging, particularly during the middle and high school years. YoungLife camps offer support and camaraderie for teens nationwide during this sensitive time in their lives. I have been fortunate to see kids’ lives change for the better through the programs and camps YoungLife provides. A young person near and dear to me shared that their time with YoungLife was the best week of their life.
