The workplace culture at YRES stood out for several reasons, each of which positively impacted my experience. First, the hybrid working model was incredibly adaptive and understanding. Being able to manage my own hours and work virtually when needed gave me the flexibility to balance my responsibilities and produce quality results. Second, the team-oriented environment fostered a strong sense of community. I developed close bonds with my colleagues and created lasting memories! The support I received from my peers made the work enjoyable, while also contributing to my personal and professional growth as I take these experiences into my future endeavors. Lastly, YRES’ responsiveness to my personal goals was especially impactful. When I expressed an interest in leadership, I was entrusted with the responsibilities of managing Stonebridge PS, our largest summer camp location, as a site leader. I am thankful for the company’s confidence in my abilities, providing me with a unique opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and grow my skills.
