Taylor Volkert

Program Coordinator- Residential

Hello, my name is Taylor Volkert, and I began my role as a Residential Program Coordinator for WESCO in August of 2024. I just recently received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Northern Iowa. In the past I worked at Childserve in Ames Iowa providing respite care for children with different intellectual and physical disabilities. Most recently I worked as an Outreach Housing Navigator for the homeless community on the Big Island in Hawaii.
I grew up in Denison and just recently moved back home after spending the last year living in Hawaii. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends and their kids, attending Minnesota Vikings football games, and watching scary movies.

Seeing so many individuals succeed in life and being able to transition back into the community is the best part of my job. - WESCO Industries Employee

They can't tell you when you start this job there may come a time where you find you're more comfortable surrounded by people with developmental disabilities than when you are with the general population. But it happens. - WESCO Industries Employee

Until someone has had their own experience with someone with a developmental disability, they just won't understand. - WESCO Industries Employee

I’m so grateful this job became my purpose, my passion & part of my identity. WESCO Industries Employee
