Founder & Executive Director | Rebecca’s Daughters

Marie Lewis is the Founder and Executive Director of Rebecca’s Daughters, a certified life and health coach, Youth Specialist, and advocate dedicated to uplifting adolescents across West Michigan. As a former at-risk adolescent, she brings lived understanding, deep empathy, and unwavering commitment to every young person she serves. Her greatest achievement is offering a nonjudgmental, compassionate presence, being the listening ear youth trust, the steady guide who sees their greatness, and the mentor who meets them in safe environments of their choosing for free life‑coaching sessions.

Lewis holds a bachelor’s in Psychology and serves as an On-Call Youth Specialist at the Kent County Detention Center. She also serves on the Boards of Covenant High School in Grand Rapids and the Mosley School of Cosmetology. Through her leadership, she’s created transformative programs that nurture identity, resilience, and practical life skills while removing barriers to support. Partnering with parents and community organizations, her heart-centered approach inspires confidence, pride, and possibility.

“My service is shaped by my own journey; there was a time in my life when I lacked the support, compassion, and guidance I now offer to others. Because I know what it feels like to go without, I’m committed to giving young people the presence, dignity, and care I once needed. Serving others is an expression of my faith, my gratitude, and my calling.”
