“I started working here in August, first in Membership and then in Child Watch. I initially came to this Y when I was younger and took swim lessons here. I’m now a senior in high school and I started looking for jobs last summer. I wanted to find the right fit. Since I was in the 8th grade, I have been volunteering at another local nonprofit and part of that is front desk work. I enjoy it and that’s what made me interested in working in the Membership Department here. Working here is pretty relaxing, it’s not a very stressful job. I like helping people a lot. It’s a very good official first job for me. I like that I’m constantly learning, and I’m starting to recognize more people. I also enjoy working in Child Watch. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to work with kids at first, but I like it. All in all, this has been a good work experience. I was nervous coming into it, but the staff here has been great and everyone is willing to help.”
