Championing Youth Voices: Megan Walter’s Commitment to a Brighter Future

February 10, 2025

At Snow-Redfern Foundation, we believe in the power of youth voice, community wisdom, and meaningful engagement. These values come to life through the dedication of our board members—leaders who bring passion, expertise, and a shared vision for empowering young people. Megan Walter is one such leader who embodies these ideals.

As the Manager of Customer Engagement for Metropolitan Utilities District (M.U.D.) in Omaha, Megan has built her career around community outreach and supporting families in need. She plays a pivotal role in fundraising for the M.U.D. Home Fund, ensuring that families receive essential utility assistance. But her commitment to community impact extends beyond her professional role—she is deeply invested in creating opportunities for youth through her work with Snow-Redfern.

Raised in Alliance, Nebraska, Megan has always valued the strength of small communities and the potential of the next generation. Her belief in the power of young people aligns perfectly with Snow-Redfern’s mission. Since joining our Board of Directors in 2023, Megan has been an advocate for youth voice and a champion for change.

Megan’s perspective on this work is best captured in her own words:

“Throughout my career and as a proud member on this board, I have been driven by the belief that every young person should have a voice and has the potential to be a powerful changemaker. The mission at Snow Redfern of empowering youth, inspiring changemakers, and energizing partnerships is a vision I truly believe in. By dedicating time to this cause, I believe we are helping to create a brighter future for our youth and supporting the next generation of leaders who will shape our communities.”

Her passion for amplifying youth voice reflects Snow-Redfern’s broader commitment to engaging young leaders in decision-making processes. Through initiatives like our Youth Engagement Coordinator role and the development of a statewide Youth Board, we are actively working to shift power back to young people—ensuring they have a seat at the table in shaping their futures.

Megan’s leadership and dedication inspire us all. With board members like her championing this mission, we continue to build pathways for youth to lead, contribute, and thrive. Together, we are creating a future where every young person has the opportunity to be heard, valued, and empowered.

We are grateful for Megan’s contributions and look forward to the impact she and other changemakers will have in shaping the next generation of leaders.
