Kaitlin Habekost

I volunteer twice per week at the Boys and Girls Club of Schenectady along with other research assistants for the Child and Family Experiences Project (CAFE lab). Essentially, we supervise the children ages six through twelve to make sure they are all getting along when it comes to playing in the gym or game room. Our mission is to provide them with a safe place to learn and grow, ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals, and hope and opportunity. I assisted in the evaluation and design of a Likert-style survey to be administered to the children at the Boys and Girls Club. The purpose of this survey was to assess the children's overall experiences at the club.

My responsibilities include displaying customer service skills, maintaining the cleanliness of the restaurant, and displaying leadership skills when it comes to training new employees. I attend to the needs of my customers and make sure they are satisfied with their meal as well as the service demonstrated.
