Volunteer of the Week!

We have a new Volunteer of the Week. Esmeralda Baza has been volunteering at The GreenHouse since the beginning of the school year. Read this interview to get to know Esmeralda:

1. How long have you been a part of or volunteering at The Greenhouse and with what program?
I have been a part of The Greenhouse since Sept 2011 in the R4 after school program.

2. Words to live by (personal quote or advice for living the good life)
It's not about what you feel. It's about what you need to do. Live to love.

3. In a nutshell, describe your  high school experience.
Horrible! I was alone with no help in homework or on a personal level.

4. What made you decide to volunteer at The Greenhouse Center?
I want to help others have a smoother ride through high school by helping them with homework or anything else.

5. When you're not volunteering, what do you do? What extracurricular activities are you involved in?
Jogging! Youth group from my church.

6. What do you love about your job?
Serving others

7. In three sentences or less, convince someone that The Greenhouse is a great place to volunteer.
The Greenhouse is a great place to volunteer because it has great staff that are very hands on with the programs. They care and make you feel like family. It's real easy to fall in love with the youth because of an encouraging staff.

8. What do you know now that you wish you knew when you were younger?
I am the one that controls my destiny!

Thanks for all that you do!
