Mentoring

Saralyn previously worked at Channing Bete Company, where she learned about core components of “Prevention Science” from renowned social scientists such as David Hawkins, PhD, Richard Catalano, PhD, and James Prochaska, PhD.  She has experience as a mentor for the Fairfax County “BeFriend-A-Child Program” where she leveraged her knowledge of “Prevention Science” while working with at-risk youth.  Saralyn states that the program does an excellent job of helping young people develop into productive members of their community, and she encourages others to get involved in the organization. 

Animal Advocacy, Pet Care, and Conservationism

Saralyn Wasserman has built a reputation as someone who cares deeply about animals in her community and in the world at large, and animal advocacy is very close to her heart.  She recognizes that animals have no voice to speak in defense of themselves, and they rely upon us to protect them. 

Saralyn has contributed to conversations about pet care and the decline of many bird species in North America.  By supporting animal welfare organizations and contributing to conversations on animal advocacy, pet care, and conservation, Saralyn hopes that her insights will inspire readers to learn more about what they can do to protect animals in their care as well as within their community. 

Human Rights

As a human rights advocate, Saralyn Wasserman maintains that we all have a responsibility to speak out against social injustices, to protect our fellow citizens, and to prioritize equality.  As such, Saralyn is deeply invested in shining a light on the many ways we can build more diverse, equitable, and inclusive relationships in the local community — regardless of their race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or other factors.  The content featured on this site hopes to give readers a passion for human rights, and a desire to contribute to a world where we are all equally protected, respected, and able to be successful.

Personal Development

In an effort to contribute to their personal development, to take on new challenges and to strengthen their personal relationships, many people make the decision to develop new skills and to set specific goals.  Saralyn’s future posts will aim to inspire others to find what works best for them when pursuing personal growth.

Volunteering

Saralyn has experience volunteering with Fairfax County’s “BeFriend-A-Child” program, and her experience with the program inspired her to find other ways to help people within her local community.  Saralyn finds that many people hold the misconception that volunteering is difficult and time consuming, but she emphasizes that there are many different ways for us to help members of our local community – especially in times of need.  If you are looking to learn more about the volunteer process, programs, and how to get more involved in supporting your favorite causes, you have come to the right place!

Outdoor Activities

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, participation in outdoor recreation has seen significant growth, and interest continues to grow.  Saralyn Wasserman finds that there are now more people than ever involved in outdoor activities — in a desire to become more connected with nature, find new and interesting hobbies, and to learn more about themselves in the process.  In the interest of helping people enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of outdoor recreation, content included on this site will explore a variety of activities that will help connect people to the outdoors.
