Working at Seaton Elementary School with the youth (Pre-k). I enjoyed creating activities that helped them learn about sports, various cultures, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Overall, I enjoyed being a group leader and camp counselor to the youth.
What I wish was different
I wish we could have extended our after school program to the entire school and not just Pre-K to make it similar to my summer experience. In the summertime at the school, the Power Scholars Academy is a program the YMCA offers to the entire school (all grades) all day while the after school program during the school year is only for Pre-K 3 & 4
Advice
If you enjoy working with children in the afternoons or summer time, seeking employment with YMCA Metropolitan of Washington D.C. is the way to go. I've working for them for 3 years now and I had enjoyed every bit of my experience.
