He tingut una experiència inestimable com a becària de treball social a Y. No només vaig tenir la sort de tenir dues tasques, in the preschool and at a local high school, I was also welcomed into the community of the Y.
As a student I am a transplant into New York City, and spending time at the Y helped to ground me and better understand the culture of Washington Heights. I’ve been able to interact with a diverse group of professionals; teachers, social workers, and directors, all of whom are dedicated to their work.
Leaving this program, I have gained knowledge in facilitating playgroups, interacting in classrooms, and teaming with high schoolers around academic and social-emotional goals. I am indebted to to the Y for allowing me to grow my skills, and I will miss the warmth of this community.
