I joined Youth Ambassadors of Service four years ago as a freshman in high school. I was very shy and didn’t feel like a part of the world around me. However YAS helped me with skills such as professional email writing, making flyers as well as marketing. It taught me overall social skills and helped me grow as a person. I feel more confident in professionals environment and have found a community I adore. I love having the ability to make a tangible difference in my community and having various volunteer opportunities open to me.
