Our sister, Rachel, is working with adults with developmental disabilities at an organization called Yachad that promotes independence in these individuals and teaches them life skills.
1. How did you get involved with Yachad?
Rachel: I got involved with the organization Yachad, because the mother of the family I babysat for last summer works there. I knew she was a social worker and worked with people with disabilities (which are both interests of mine) so I reached out to her and got hooked up with the job.
2. What's been the most rewarding part of your job so far?
Rachel: The most rewarding part of my job is watching the individuals I work with learn and thrive.
3. What's your favorite part of summer?
Rachel: My favorite part of the summer are my weekends. I love just hanging out either at the beach or in NYC and exploring new places and restaurants.
4. What are you most looking forward to about going back to school?
Rachel: I am most looking forward to being back in DC with everyone and being a senior! I'm also excited to finally not be living in a dorm and getting an apartment!
Be sure to check back in again next week to hear more about what our amazing AEPhi GW sisters are doing this summer!
