Meet Sydney

Sydney started volunteering with REAP as a requirement for her studies.

As part of her coursework at University of Maryland, she needed to complete an internship, and felt that REAP’s work was in line with her interest in social justice.

Over the next six months, she worked eight hours a week as an intake coordinator.

Intake coordinators are an essential part of REAP operations: each time a client contacts REAP for help, a member of the team conducts an intake assessment to help determine what issues the client is facing and what types of assistance REAP might be able to provide.

Sydney worked alongside REAP Director Odeth Berlin and other volunteers to, in her words, “provide swift crises intervention and promote financial stability among our clientele.”

Sydney found it rewarding to help people who face trying times, and particularly the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with clients.

The role helped her develop “a deeper understanding of the experiences and barriers underserved communities face in the pursuit of accessing services.”

In 2024, she graduated with her degree in public health! We’re sure she’ll continue to make an impact on the community in her future endeavors.

Testimonials

The emergency device service, home care help, and of course the water heater [replacement] have helped me so much and improved my quality of life greatly!

Sandra G.

Senior Reach Client

I am very appreciative of the services REAP provides to families like myself who need a little help when they are in crisis and need a place to turn to as a safe haven.
