Polina’s Family Group, Avengers Assemble!
The family group component demonstrates and builds the commitment to the CfY community. It is through the relationships that are often developed in the family group, that the community grows closer and bonds between students and mentors are fostered. Our family group really enjoys activities where we can all participate and engage. Our gatherings have ranged from playing games at a local Starbucks to making Gingerbread Houses during the holidays. We also try to vary our outings to keep it interesting and appeal to different personalities and interests within the group.
The family group is a very important component of CfY. During my time with the organization, I have seen the family group dynamic add a lot of value and strengthen the bond between students and mentors.
