Air Force Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy

Air Force Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy

Volunteers from the Air Force Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy generously spent their last weekend in Montgomery, in February 2020, delivering menstrual, hygiene and dental supplies for Women In Training, Inc. to create #WITKITS for underserved youth in our community. The male and female officers also sweetly wrote love WIT notes and decorated thank you cards to share with donors. That was pretty awesome!

Kelsey Babcock

Kelsey Babcock is a very involved member of WIT, often present at events. Here she is pictured at a WITKIT Giveaway!

Amerika Blair

During the week of Easter, Amerika Blair generously packed #WITKITS® of menstrual, hygiene, and dental products to give to girls and young women living in foster homes, homeless shelters, and low-income housing projects.

BSA Troop 8

Girls from a Boy Scouts Troop spent a morning helping to pack WITKITS.

Sophie Caradori

Sophie Caradori

No stranger to community service, Sophie was one of the first WIT volunteers. In addition to being an avid tennis player, Sophie also has a knack for jewelry making. She helped the twins make the first set of bracelets for the young women at New Beginnings Educational Center. She is pictured here with members of Phi Mu sisterhood fraternity at Huntingdon College.

Ife Dixon

Ife is that volunteer who always responds positively when Women in Training, Inc. has a special event. She comes with a smile on her face, a kind heart, and willing hands!

Jill Friedman

Jill Friedman was one of the first people to volunteer with WIT. Before we even had our first planning meeting last summer, Ms. Friedman provided organizational development suggestions to help bring Breanna and Brooke’s menstrual equity vision to fruition. It’s rare to see Ms. Friedman in a photo, because she is usually behind the camera lens. In that vein, she attends every WIT event to document the activities for posterity.

Evi Willemen

Thirteen-year-old Evi Willemen from the Netherlands, along with her parents, garnered support from friends and businesses in their country to support Women in Training, Inc. by providing cash and donations of sanitary pads and other hygiene items to support poor girls and young women suffering from #periodpoverty. The supplies will be used during our #COVID19Relief efforts.
