New Ambassador: Yendi!

It is with great excitement that we announce a new ambassador to our team!

Yendi has been a member of our leadership team for long time. In fact, a few of our current ambassadors used to be Yendi's mentor! Yendi is kind and dedicated to their work! They are supportive, non-judgemental and uplifting in all their interactions. They are creative and thoughtful in their problem solving. As an ambassador, Yendi will be focusing on the teens. Previously, they have worked to make the transition process from the teen community to the adult community smoother, ensuring that more teens feel comfortable aging up. This is an important project and one we know will continue to thrive.

(Note from @Iara) Yendi is a super star when it comes to going above and beyond! She has a passion for helping teens build connections and friendships like no one else I know, she works hard to make everyone feel welcome and safe in the community. Yendi also does her best to make sure everyone gets recognition and appreciation while also being willing to help anyone that might ask clear and realistic feedback on what they could do to become the best version of theselves. While I had my force hiatus (because of the Hurricane!), Yendi stepped up big time! She made sure the new teen mentors got their badges, their training and even took the extra step to follow up and make sure they were feeling supported and welcome. Her outstanding ability to adapt and surpass any challenge tells us she has a lot to teach us on how we can best support our teens that age up.

Congrats and welcome to the team @Yendi ! We are glad to have you on board :)

Please join me in welcoming @Yendi! Especially, teens!!!!
