Zach believes that Hopeworks and the Youth Healing Team played a huge role in his preparation for this advancement.
“Hopeworks has prepared me for this role by helping me gain confidence in talking to new people. The Youth Healing Team has helped me gain a trauma informed approach to potentially sensitive topics.”
