(CLAIR) – KTLA News Los Angeles recently featured the inspiring story of Dorina Timbol, the Executive Director of For the Need Foundation. Timbol has been nominated as a Remarkable Woman of the Year for her unwavering commitment to uplifting those affected by poverty and homelessness. Overcoming her own challenging upbringing, she now leads a nonprofit organization focused on empowering disadvantaged youth with essential life skills and mentorship.
Timbol’s groundbreaking work has touched countless lives, providing hope and determination to children and struggling teenagers througout Southern California. Under her leadership, For the Need Foundation participates in a Youth Empowerment Summit, which has quickly expanded to other cities and counties, creating a ripple effect of change in communities statewide.
Through her affiliation with Rotary International, Timbol founded the Youth Empowerment Summit, a program that provides a safety net for teenagers facing adversity. Administered and facilitated through regional Rotary chapters, the Summit teaches important life skills and offers support to young people in need.
One such individual is 16-year-old Annabel Brockman, who found the encouragement and guidance she needed to build a brighter future through Timbol’s program. With the resources provided, Brockman has overcome numerous obstacles, paving the way for a promising future.
Dorina Timbol’s story, as featured on KTLA News Los Angeles, underscores the ways in which dedication, passion, and collaboration can lead to transformative change for the less fortunate. As her work continues to gain recognition, both the Youth Empowerment Summit and For the Need Foundation are well-positioned to make a positive impact on even more lives in the years to come.
