November 19, 2023Growing up with a Baptist Christian background, Taylor attributes her passion for youth programming to Zion Baptist Church of Ardmore. There, she assisted with ZBC’s Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Girl Scout Troop #749, and any ministry where she could help empower youth to explore the world around them and strive to reach their goals. She studied Speech Communications at Millersville University, where she continued in youth and young adult programming with Millersville’s Bible Campus Ministries and the college chapter of the NAACP.
She has also worked in the Ardmore community, advocating for student needs within the Lower Merion School District and encouraging youth self-advocacy with the Main Line NAACP Youth Council.
Taylor strongly believes in the power of cultural education and collaboration to create a more just world for everyone. Taylor is excited to serve as the Youth Initiatives Director at Interfaith Philadelphia and continue her youth work.
When she isn’t doing youth programs, Taylor spends her time Bullet Journaling or making playlists on Spotify.
