Senior Manager, Media Relations

Cynthia Nordberg - Someone said: "More people fail for lack of encouragement than for any other reason." Cynthia Nordberg believes so strongly in the power of mentoring as a tool for encouraging youth to succeed, that it has become her life theme. Cynthia graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor of science in Education. Over the next 13 years, she co-directed Chicago Youth Ministries whose mission is to empower economically challenged youth. During that time she received the "Extra Effort" award from an ABC news channel in Chicago for her mentorship with teens in foster care. In 1998, she was selected to work with a team of consultants on a national mentoring project called "Women of Destiny," sponsored by the youth organization Kids Across America. Today Cynthia is the mother of two school-aged children, a freelance writer, and Lifebound's publicist. She also volunteers in her community as a youth advocate and is helping to launch an intergenerational mentoring program for women. "I couldn't have come into my own as a confident woman without the influence of mentors," says Cynthia. "I'm grateful that Lifebound invites me to pass along that blessing of influence to others."
