Katie Westcott is YouthZone’s Youth Advocate II. Katie previously worked as a family meeting facilitator at YouthZone and has returned in her new capacity to help with case management in Rifle. She began working with Garfield County families in 2014 doing emergence assistance at the River Center in New Castle. Katie has an undergraduate degree in Spanish and Latin American Studies from Colorado State University and completed her master’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis in health in 2018 from Grand Canyon University.

I’m excited to stay at YouthZone in a different capacity. I enjoy the people I work with, I love what we do with the kids, and I’m encouraged by the heart-work that reaches families in Garfield County.
