My Day to Day

Dream Youth Clinic is a no-cost clinic, so I spend a lot of time fundraising. I'll be speaking with funders or with the city, dealing with grants and contracts, and fostering partnerships so that we're able to fund our no-cost services. I also spend time focusing on our vision and working on developing and executing our long and short-term goals. My favorite part of my job is being in the clinic and working with young people.
