Emily Gerlach is a young professional who has worked in the Gettysburg area since 2015. She is a licensed social worker in Pennsylvania and has earned a master’s degree in social work from Shippensburg University and a bachelor’s of arts degree in social work from the University of Pittsburgh.

In her current roles as Social Services Director for Homewood at Plum Creek and Client Services Specialist at Survivors, Inc., she puts her advocacy and counseling skills to good use in working to improve the lives of older adults and survivors of interpersonal violence and sexual assault. Environmental sustainability, international women’s rights, and food security are other causes near and dear to her heart.

In her spare time, Emily loves being outdoors, camping, traveling, kayaking, and running. She is overjoyed at the opportunity to collaborate with other strong women leaders and the Adams County community through the YWCA!
