Reflections on Being a SUP Director
“There are never any problems- just situations that are going to be worked out; all learning and growing experiences. Being director for me was a PERFECT fit- my personality, passion, and everything fit with RYI so well. I never dreamed that I would have so much fun, the children would have so much fun, my staff would cooperate so well (they are AMAZING and HILARIOUS!!!), and I would love something so much and so deeply. This summer was non-stop action and adventure, full of positives and a few negatives, but overall the best thing EVER (at least for myself).”

“The last day of camp one of the oldest boys came up to me and told me that he wanted to be a JC to help make a difference. He obviously associates the work that we do with making a positive difference/addition to his community. ”

“SUP makes me want to explore more of the impact that non-profits can have on the growth/development of youth through the way they engage schools, families, and communities.”
