New Video: Linda Mascarenas
NCFY's new video series features seven youth workers from around the country, each sharing a time when they made a big difference in a young person's life.
Up first is Linda Mascarenas from Family and Youth Services in Stockton, CA. She talks about a teen mother who eventually became a paid employee of Mascarenas' youth program.
The "When Did You Make the Biggest Difference in a Young Person's Life?" video series was shot in Portland, OR, during the 2011 National Runaway and Homeless Youth Family and Youth Services Bureau Grantee Conference in November. A complementary series titled "What's Your Most Meaningful Relationship?" features formerly homeless young people talking about the most essential people in their lives.
