“My favorite part of working for BGC is the relationships that we get to build; not only with our club members, but other youth in the community, other entities in the surrounding communities, and people involved in the Boys & Girls Club movement across the country.”
“I have been with the Boys and Girls Club since the summer of 2013. During my time as a Program Aide, I implemented programs for Character and Leadership. Some of my favorite program activities were Random Acts of Kindness, SMART Moves and the Bully Project. In my years at BGC, I have grown from my position of a Program Aide to the first full-time Program Aide and now the Program Coordinator. My favorite part of the work that we do is watching the kids grow up into young adults.”
“In 2017 I graduated from FLC with a dual major in Psychology and Public Health. Later that year in September, I was hired as a part-time Program Aide. In 2018 I became the Behavior Coordinator and still am. While being here, my favorite part of the day is seeing our diverse group of kids because every day with them is different. The youth we serve keeps my position an ongoing learning experience and they motivate me to keep up with current trauma informed, behavioral, and classroom management trainings.”
