EFFECTIVE CHANGE AGENT.
ABOUT ME AND MY WORK
I am undergraduate student, majoring in Community Health Education. I am interested in working with children and youth specifically looking at how social support during critical years, affects an individual's overall health in the long run. I chose to volunteer at Helen Gordon in order to gain the experience of how to be a positive support system in early development years. I hope to take this path in my future career. |
