Program Director
AmeriCorps
Program members and staff traveled to the Eagle Rock Challenge
Course in
Mt. Vernon for their October 6 Team Day. Goals for the day were
to increase leadership abilities, improve group communication
skills, accomplish things considered impossible, develop stronger
relationships, and have fun. In addition to achieving their goals,
members and staff learned about themselves and each other. By
working through challenges with the team, members also discovered
new ways to interact and work with youth. The team achieved all
of its goals, but walked away with something even greater - a
deep sense of accomplishment and pride.
