Diversity

Dealing with Diversity!!!

I have had experience with many diverse populations.

• In the pre-internships I have had thus far in my collegete experience has had me working in diverse populations. I was working with children from every economic status, ethnic group, religious group and race.
• I have volunteered with groups as young as newborns as well as people that were in nursing homes.
• The best example I have of working with a diverse group is my work for the last three years at Camp Wise. Camp Wise is an Jewish overnight camp. I am not Jewish and had little interaction with the Jewish Religion before I began work at the camp. I was so nervous going into the camp that I would be ostracized by everyone there because i was not part of their religion. I could not have been more wrong. That was one of the most welcoming environments that I have ever entered and I made some life long friends!! I am so excited that I went outside of my comfort zone to experience this time.
• Other Camps that I recomend!!! I have attended all of these and they are great for children!! Van Buren Youth Camp , Pretty Lake Vacation Camp
