I look forward to sharing the heart behind our organization, where we came from and what we have been up to recently! 
Maren has been involved with Cyrus Centre for the past 15 years, originally as a volunteer, then as a youth worker and then transitioned into various fundraising roles. Maren was born and raised right here in the Fraser Valley. She received her BA from UFV in 2016 and completed her MBA at TWU in 2022. Maren is passionate about finding sustainable solutions to end youth poverty here in the Fraser Valley.
Cyrus Centre Ministries provides 24/hour a day shelter, supports, meals, and services to youth aged 12-24 in the Fraser Valley.
