Youth at Risk Development Program Worker at the John Howard Society of Hamilton, Burlington and Area, supporting youth at risk of antisocial behaviour and lifestyles in the Hamilton community through group facilitated programming, case management, mentoring and one on one support.
“My work is always changing and unpredictable, which challenges me to think and respond differently every day.
I use the theory I learned in my program, my experience from placements and my critical thinking skills to creatively address barriers at-risk youth experience, while emphasizing the importance of community.
Respect and dignity are core values in my line of work.”
