What I liked

Working at MYEP has been life-changing for me, I have learned so much working with adult clients with a wide range of disabilities and they have taught me about myself as well. Each day I am greeted with big smiles from the individuals we serve and my amazing co-workers. What I like the most about this job is that every day is different- What client you serve depends on the day and we fill each day with different community outings and in house activities. Each day you have a chance to spread positivity, to teach, and to learn something yourself along the way.
