I have been with Family & Youth Initiatives since September 2004, first as an In-school Educator, then as a STARS Mentor Coordinator and College Campus Coordinator, and finally as the Program Director for both the in-school and STARS program. I am passionate about fostering change in both attitude and behavior of our youth in relationship to at-risk behaviors.

I am one of the In-School Educators as well as a new member to Family & Youth Initiatives family. I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH and have been a resident of Springfield, OH for 13 years. I have worked in youth ministry in some form since 1998. I am passionate about teaching our young people truths to counteract the lies and myths they have learned from society.
The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me;
Your love, O LORD, endures forever --

Dawn Wilbur, In-School Educator (dawn@familyandyouthinitiatives.org)
I have worked with Family and youth initiatives for over 6 years. I was originally a Real Life STARS coordinator and on the board for Logan County Drug free Youth Coalition as well as the Director of youth programs with the coalition. I am now an in-school educator for Logan and Champaign counties. I live in the area and care very much about the youth here. I am married to Kevin Wilbur and we have four wonderful children, two who are still in school which gives me a close connection to the youth in the area. I want to educate the youth about all at risk behaviors and making smart informed choices for their life. I don't want them to say"I didn't know" I want them to seek information for any decision the make and realize the effects each decision will have on their future.
