Professional Summary

As a newly graduated, entry level person, I have basic experience in the mental health field.

I have volunteer experience relevant to the type of work I want to do. I volunteered as a

call-staff member at NumberNyne crisis hotline where my responsibilit ies included talking

to t roubled people and helping them deal with issues going on in their lives. I did not talk

m uch as our main goal was to just listen and provide people with information about

establishments that could help them based on their specific needs. I have also volunteered

for and completed the youth mentor program at Goodwill. I was assigned to an at-r isk youth

and my job there was to be that child's friend and show them that just because they come

f rom a rough background does not mean they are stuck in that life. We met every weekend

and just spent three to four hours together playing sports and video games and talking

about what his dreams and desires were as well as how he could achieve them. My current

volunteer work is at CCFI, Center for Children and Families Inc. There I help at r isk

families involved in divorce with minor children, enroll in parenting classes mandated by

D HS and the Court. I also help provide low income families with diapers and formula for

t heir children.
