Organization Affiliation During Your Fellowship Year

Windy Hill Senior Center, Inc.

greatest impact of your fellowship year

Gaining expertise of inter generational programming, which I have been able to implement at Windy Hill. As a result, Windy Hill relocated onto the Spring Grove School District campus, and is now an integral part of the school community. This partnership has been huge for both organizations.

Why would you recommend the York federal fellows program?

It is an outstanding experience to increase knowledge, gain exposure of similar programs throughout the country and to gain access to a wealth of expertise and networking.
