Helping Your
I grew up at the YMCA of the Foothills; it was my second home. From Preschool to camp, to volunteering after school and at Camp Fox as an LIT. The YMCA became a place of learning, positive growth, and friendship. The YMCA taught me how to work with others and appreciate myself and served as a good foundation for school.
I decided to volunteer because I was missing my second home, which eventually led to my time as a summer camp counselor for Kinder Discoverers after my first year of college. I decided to come back to the Y to make a positive impact within the community. I have always looked up to my teachers and counselors growing up and felt it would be an honor to fill their shoes for the younger generations. –Emma |
