Ben may seem like a judgemental 15 year old and may seem hard to talk to, but he’s definitely got a creative outlook on l Ben is a good leader and good at presenting ideas he is very passionate about.
One member we have is Katerine, 17, she is a very diverse and talkative person. As a whole, she is extremely unique and brings so many different attributes to the table. You'd never think at first glance, but Katerine is multicultural and speaks 5 languages. After working with Katerine for 2 to 3 months, you can always tell that she has something to share and is always there to listen and help you out with projects, ideas, or expanding your thoughts.
Dexter, another new hire, is 16 years old, really easy to talk to and always maintains a calm spirit. He’s mexican and chinese, which he calls himself “mexinese”. The most distinct quality Dexter has is keeping up with current events, he's always able to update everyone on the most recent news whether it's serious or just funny.
So, who are the additions to the YouthLINE family?
Recently, YouthLINE hired 7 new staff members. It was a hard decision to make with over a hundred applicants, but these seven were more than ecstatic to be part of the program. Within three months, this group of youth has learned new skills and expanded their knowledge to prepare them for their careers with YouthLINE. This group has just completed 80+ hours of training to become YouthLINE tech interns. These new hires share a strong professional bond with one another, respecting each person's cultural and unique backgrounds. They work well with each other and always have ideas to share and expand upon. One’s weakness is another's strength and we believe that's the reason the team works so well together. We strongly believe that when one person fails, everybody fails and when one person succeeds, the entire group succeeds.
