Summary
It has been nearly five years (by the end of this summer) since I began working at the YMCA. With my role as a Y employee, I have had the opportunity to gain experience supporting youth development, fostering a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment, and working with staff members to help create, implement, and lead programs/activities. I also briefly worked as a afterschool counselor my senior year for the YMCA at Cayuga elementary school (Depew NY)
