課後專業人士答謝週 – 4 月 19 日至 23 日
在美國，估計有 850,000 名專業人員在課外時間與兒童和青少年一起工作，提供豐富的體驗。我們相信，為了讓年輕人充分發揮自己的潛力並茁壯成長，他們需要的機會和關係超出了他們在學校和家庭中所能獲得的機會和關係。這就是我們的 YMCA 擴展學習計劃的用武之地。我們提供了一個安全的場所來成長、聯繫並賦予我們照顧的孩子歸屬感。 直接聽取我們的員工關於 ELP 對他們的意義： 艾米·泰克 – 約翰·奧蒂斯小學ELP 為您的生活帶來了什麼？ “ELP 徹底改變了我的生活。我還在上大學的時候就進入了，當時我還是一個不知道自己想做什麼的學生。當我被錄用時，我以為這份工作是短期的，我現在會在其他地方，但我錯了。幾年過去了，我成為了一名助理主管，然後是一名現場主管。代表我在 ELP 的經驗，我很喜歡我合作過的每一個網站。每天看到學生進來，我的生活都充滿了樂趣。我很感激我們能讓學生一天中的大部分時間都和他們在一起。我相信我們就像他們的第二個父母。有時我的學生會感到疲倦，對學校和他們的日常生活感到不知所措，而我們作為課後計劃有責任扭轉這一天。如果學生在其他地方不受歡迎，我們會讓他們感到受歡迎。如果學生沒有被傾聽;他與我們有發言權。我還了解到，我們的學生是小海綿，這意味著他們會吸收我們向他們展示的一切。這給我們作為員工帶來了重大責任，但這也是展示和樹立如何尊重和關懷他人的最佳時機。ELP 帶給我的只是快樂和興奮，能夠在子孫後代中發揮作用。向我們所有的課後工作人員大喊大叫！ Navin Alavez – 埃斯孔迪多聯合學區 “每天都有人在創造機會，創造一個安全和支持性的環境，並在課堂時間之外建立關係。我相信這些人所致力於的工作可以概括為瑪雅·安傑盧的這句話：“你不知道你的遺產會是什麼。你的遺產就是你每天所做的事情。你的遺產是你接觸過的每一個生命，每一個生命被感動或沒有被感動的人。這是你幫助過的每個人。這就是你的遺產。我相信任何參加過擴展學習計劃的人都會為他們有幸與之共事的每一位學生留下遺產。 點擊圖片或 這裡 聆聽 Navin 的回應。 康妮·貝爾-馬倫 – 林肯英畝小學ELP […]
