It is a privilege to be involved with Tots2Teens. Being blessed with two beautiful children myself, it is nice to support and give back to others who may not be as fortunate in life. I love that my children love and support T2T as much as I do!
Hi, My Name is Julie, I have completed a Community Service Diploma and have a keen interest in all facets of our community and endeavour to contribute and support the ethos of Tots2Teens.
Hello. My name is Pauline and I have lived in Wodonga for the past 48 years. I am married and have three beautiful sons, along with my DIL and two beautiful grandchildren.

I believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued—especially during some of the most difficult moments in life. This work is deeply personal to me, and…
I met Jo when I started at Storage King Wodonga in 2020, instantly knew I wanted to do as much as I could to help Tots2Teens. I grew up in a DV home, spent time in foster care and finally kinship care when my mother fled her DV situation. I know that my experience growing up would have been a lot different if there was organisations like Tots2teens around when I was young.
