Marie's Bio: Marie Randel is currently a Youth Counselor/Community Outreach Coordinator at the York County Youth Development Center, a trauma-informed temporary shelter for the at-risk juveniles, where she has worked for more than ten years. After getting her degree in Theology at Christ for the Nations, Texas, Marie knew her life’s mission was to help broken people. Marie traveled extensively through the United States working street ministry at events that drew large crowds, focusing on reaching and providing resources to those who were burnt out, disillusioned and trapped. Marie was married in 1983, had six children, and homeschooled them while pastoring and volunteering. After moving to York in 2000, Marie worked with the York Rescue Mission as an event coordinator helping those that were broken in York City. With years of trauma-informed training and work with shelter residents, along with her past experiences working on the streets, Marie has a perspective of human trafficking, some tell -tale signs, trauma effects on individuals and understands the need for preventative education.
