Jess Chen

Hi! I'm Jess Chen, Program Director at PCR, where I've worked for nearly eight years. Over that time, I've been involved in many of our community programs, events, and volunteer activities.

Much of my work is about turning ideas into real programs and making sure everything comes together behind the scenes. I especially enjoy working with young people: hearing their ideas, helping them find ways to get involved, and watching them take on more responsibility and grow more confident through volunteering.

Outside of work, I'm a mom of two, including a teenager. Raising a teen has taught me a lot about the ups and downs of communication, independence, school, and how the parent–child relationship changes as kids grow. I'm always happy to share a parent's perspective, or simply listen if you want to talk something through.

Feel free to book a time with me  if you'd like to talk about volunteering at PCR, community involvement, program or event ideas, communicating with parents, or anything you're trying to figure out along the way.

Tina Chen

Hi! I’m Tina Chen, a recent graduate of NYU’s Nursing program and a Registered Nurse. I’ve been part of PCR since 2018, when I first joined as a volunteer, and I’ve now been working with the organization for about five years.

I currently serve as PCR’s Youth Program Director, where I oversee youth programs, volunteer opportunities, and leadership development for teens. A big part of my role is helping young people get connected to meaningful opportunities where they can build skills, gain experience, become more involved in their community, and grow as leaders.

I’m also the designated contact for volunteer award applications, college-related letters, volunteer program planning, and recommendation letters. I’m happy to meet with students and volunteers who have questions about their involvement at PCR, school or college planning, career interests, leadership opportunities, or next steps in their volunteer experience.

Feel free to schedule a meeting with me if you’d like to talk through any of the above, ask questions, or get some guidance and support!

I’m the Social Media Coordinator for the Parent-Child Relationship Association, where I manage our social media channels and create flyers and videos. I first became involved with the organization in 2017 as a park cleanup volunteer, and as the organization grew and expanded its programs, my role evolved along with it.

While I don’t currently work professionally as an illustrator, I’m happy to share my personal experience with art school, including portfolios, applications, classes, and the creative process, as well as resources that I’ve found helpful as an artist, or general questions about working at PCR.
