  • "As a member of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Counseling Center team, I've found the work to be both challenging and deeply rewarding. The YWCA Lancaster provides excellent training and support, and there's a real sense of teamwork. However, due to the nature of the work, it can be emotionally taxing. Self-care is a big focus here, which helps. The mission-driven culture is something I truly appreciate."

I love the variety of campaigns we get to work on, from fundraising initiatives to the various events. The pace can be fast, especially around big events, but it's exciting to see our efforts come to life in the community. The leadership is mission-driven and supportive, although there's always room for more cross-departmental collaboration."
