This day I got to manage and work in the baby basic’s closet. I learned how to add new people into the system and what to do when they come in. Overall it wasn’t anything to hard I would do it again. There’s still a lot to learn when people ask me questions. I am good at talking to people and helping them out so helping out in the baby basic’s helps me with that.

For this day I hung and organized the remaining of the baby clothes from what I hadn’t finished. It was mostly shorts and pants that needed to be hung then organized.

For this day I sorted and continued to organize baby’s clothes in the baby basics closet. They also showed me where everything went in the closet. I also learned how it worked and how many diapers and wipes a person gets.

For this day I continue to hang and organize baby clothes for the baby’s basics closet. I was able to finish the remaining of the clothes before they received a new load the following day.

For this day at the center I organized and hung baby clothes for the baby basics closet. I sorted clothes from newborn to 2 years old.

For this day we went to High Point Central for curriculum parent night with Laura. We reached out to students who wanted to know more about the YWCA Latino center. We also talked to students about UNCG and the Chance camp that we offer for Latinx students.

The Soy Un Lider Conference at Guilford College was a great experience. We were able to set a recruiting table up for High school students who wanted to know more information about UNCG. We were also able to tell them more about the programs and scholarships UNCG offers as well as recruiting cohorts for Chance 2023. I was able to also talk to a couple High schoolers about my college experience and why I chose UNCG.

During my two hours I was able to help and do work around the admissions office with Margarita. I also learned more about the chance program and the possibility of becoming a mentor and what exactly they do during Chance.

I enjoyed volunteering for the Bienvenidos open house it was a great experience. It allowed me to do something different and help in the latino community to those who are seniors in High School and aren't sure about what school to choose. It was a good experience especially since college can be challenging and most people don't know what to expect. The open house allowed those seniors from high school feel more comfortable in the next steps into applying and being prepared.
