Summary

Application to work on the Outreach team at Red River Dance

As someone who loves to connect with new kids and has experience working with children who have diverse learning and developmental needs, I would love to become a part of the Outreach team. I currently work with an 11-year-old girl who is almost fully non-verbal. She attends Red River Dance on Wednesdays. I have gotten to see firsthand how amazing this program is! Although my dance experience was a while ago, I danced with Just for Kix for three years. I also danced on my high school team for one year before becoming the student manager at competitions. This position at Red River would better prepare me for wanting to become a Speech Pathologist, and it would give me the opportunity to connect more with my community.
