WHO INSPIRES YOU AT YOUR JOB?
Every single person at Y2Y inspires me. Each volunteer brings in an inspirational, positive mindset that relates to more than just our tasks. The most inspiring aspect of the volunteers is that even with their incredibly busy college schedules, they still take time out to help the community and the non-profit because they are passionate about wanting to help make a change. WHAT IS THE GENERAL EMPLOYEE ATTITUDE AT YOUR INTERNSHIP? The volunteers and directors of the program are amazing people. They all deeply care about their role and are more than willing to be a part of this non-profit. Every interaction I have had with the people I have met at Y2Y has been incredible. The volunteers are people around my age who are driven by their goal to make a change and choose to be a part of Y2Y, therefore they happily put in all the work to help out. Everyone's attitudes are remarkably positive and the work space is very welcoming to all. Although there is a lot of socializing, it is not a negative thing. It is incredible to hear different experiences of those volunteering and finding out what led them to Y2Y. WHAT IS THE GOAL OF YOUR INDUSTRY? The ultimate goal of Y2Y is to provide a comfortable and safe environment for youths and help them out of homelessness with their many optional programs to build future paths. This week I was able to look at some workshop activities they do and the most interesting one to me was the story building dice. There was a cube with letters in it and the activity was to shake it to create a word to use to inspire a story. Although it may seem like a small activity, but this activity (and the other similar ones they had, like a grammar correcting worksheet) was to improve language/grammar in a fun and creative way. By far, the most amazing thing about Y2Y is that it is primarily student ran, meaning that thee volunteers and staff are all students (mostly from Harvard University). I cannot stress this enough, but Y2Y is truly incredible and I urge people to volunteer there (or really any place)!
