SNBC: Please tell us a little about yourself.

Ms. Donna: I’ve worked at F.S. Key for about five years. I love kids and how I can have an impact on their lives.

SNBC: What brought you to this program?

Ms. Donna: I love working with the youth and families because I can give them the support they need. Working with youth is the key to success because youth and families are very important to our community.

SNBC: What do you enjoy most about your work within this program?

Ms. Donna: The best part of my position is getting to spend all my time with my kids and teaching them through different activities and projects. Getting to see all the students grow.

SNBC: Why do you think this program is important?

Ms. Donna: It’s important because I want all students to feel that they’re safe and have some place to go after school. Also so all students can learn as they grow.
