  In the Youth Program Specialist role, I wear a number of different "hats" on a daily basis. As a "floater", I primarily act as a flexible source of support for students K-12, stepping in for other staff members and leading activities as needed. In addition to the floater role, I also coordinate Our Club's quarterly literacy assessments, conducting 1-on-1 sessions with a minimum of 60 youth per quarter. I have also had the opportunity to assist with grant proposals, participate in recruitment events, and support the organization's mission by taking initiative whenever possible. Show less
