Staff: Monica Robles

Monica Robles is a long-time Oregon resident and is passionate about living with purpose and intention. She holds a degree in Interior Design from George Fox University, where her love for creativity and artistic expression were nurtured. While interior design remains close to her heart, Monica has discovered greater personal fulfillment through uplifting her community with positivity and service.

She comes to Friends of the Children - SW Washington as a Mentor, bringing a rich background in education as both a classroom teacher and a community dance instructor. Monica is eager to build meaningful, one-on-one relationships with youth, offering steady support, encouragement, and a sense of joy.

Outside of her work, Monica loves exploring the outdoors with her family, traveling, attending live music events, creating art, and salsa dancing. She looks forward to inspiring laughter, connection, and confidence in every child she mentors.
