We Think Kristina Can
Support Kris' Campaign while helping homeless youth
Goal
Hola! My goal is to (re)learn Spanish. I will read, write, and speak as much Spanish as I can with the help of text books, the internet, and of course my co-workers. All $ raised will go straight to ATC, not the payment of my Spanish language resources. And for all those who sponsor, you will receive a personal thank you from me...en Espanol!!!
I chose this goal because
As an outreach counselor for ATC, I feel it is effective to communicate in many ways through cultural codes, languages, and gestures with the clients we see on outreach and in the office. Working in the Mission, there are many Spanish speaking clients that I can only nod my head to or say "Buenos noches" from time to time. If I can at least improve my Spanish a little, I can talk to someone who I otherwise couldn't.
I'm helping because
I have worked at ATC for a little over 3 months and I have learned so much about our youth, the communities we work with, and most of all myself. I am proud and honored to be a part of such an educated, talented, and loving group of people and hope that ATC and organizations like it thrive.
About At The Crossroads
ATC walks the streets of San Francisco, reaching out to homeless youth and young adults on their turf. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. Since we started 13 years ago, we have worked with more than 5,000 youth, helping them build outstanding lives.
