Below is a personal message from Pheng:
Hello! My name is Pheng Vang and I am the new Youth Internship Coordinator for Urban Roots. I am thrilled to be a part of the team and the community in which Urban Roots serves. To give you a brief background about myself, I graduated from Metropolitan State University studying Psychology with an emphasis on youth development. While in school, I held internships and volunteered at various after-school programs working with the youth as well as worked at the YMCA for several years with overnight camping and data evaluation.
During my off time, you can catch me coordinating community sporting events and coaching youth football, which is a favorite pastime of mine. I am a very passionate individual when it comes to healthy living, practicing mindfulness, and creating opportunities for youth, which is why I appreciate and love the work that Urban Roots has been doing.
I am very excited to be working for Urban Roots because it is a great opportunity to continue to push my passion for positive youth development into new avenues. I am eagerly looking forward to the recruitment process and meeting our future interns!
