As the Teen Center enters its third year of operation, two new leaders are preparing for another great year.
Molly McConnell, of Wilmington, N.C., is pursuing a degree in secondary English education at East Carolina University. After just earning her associate’s degree at Cape Fear Community College, she’s using the experience of working with teens this summer as preparation for a career as a high school teacher.
“I’m so excited to work with the age group that I’ll eventually be teaching,” she said. “It’s important that I learn how to effectively interact with the teens and learn how to earn their respect while also being friendly.”
Naomi Hutchison, of Canton, is working towards a degree in youth ministry at Indiana Wesleyan University. She is also excited to use this summer as a learning opportunity for a future career.
