We asked Erendira to share her personal experience as a volunteer:
Why did you decide to volunteer with Marine Parents?

What do you find most rewarding about volunteering with MarineParents?
"Being able to help is so rewarding!"
What would you say to someone who is interested in volunteering?

Christen Weller
Christen joined MarineParents after her Marine completed Recruit Training. She wanted to be part of MarineParents because of all the support she received while her son was in recruit training and also spent time in BMP & STC. She leaned on the daily posts in the groups as her son journeyed through his boot camp experience. Christen wanted to volunteer so she can support other recruit families. She loves being a Marine MoM and part of MarineParents.
