Newark YES Club Student Volunteer
I visited YES Club, Newark, Ohio's afterschool program for adolescents age 11-18, weekly and designed activities to engage the students over the course of the semester. I held a program in which I introduced the students to problem solving using different Rubik's-type puzzles in which the students were able to de-stress while exploring their curiosity and speak openly about topics of interest.
