Guest speaker Minette Smith told the advisory board the Wahkiakum Community Network is recruiting mentors (especially on the county's west end) for 2026, announced an open house Feb. 3 at the Hope Center, and confirmed dates for Kid’s Connection and a May wellness event.
Minette Smith, representing the Wahkiakum Community Network, addressed the Wahkiakum County Health & Human Services Advisory Board to kick off National Mentor Month and urged residents to volunteer as mentors for 2026. She said the program seeks additional mentors on the county’s west end; mentors are expected to commit at least one year and to spend roughly four hours per month with their mentee.
