Ruby Freed, YDC North Teaching Assistant said, "I love my job at the Y because of the family-oriented atmosphere! I love seeing how the children have progressed throughout the year. It melts my heart when I am gone for a few days and I come back and the children just about run me over because they missed me. I have made wonderful memories with the children and their families. I feel like I have a whole new family."

• Helping pick up children from school and accompanying them during the bus ride to the YMCA
• Assisting children with snack and clean up
