FEATURED STAFF MEMBER

Kathy Young

Kathy Young began working for the CCC in 1988 when we were still in the basement of the Methodist Church in Katonah. Over the years Kathy has served in many roles including cook, infant caregiver, after-school teacher, lifeguard and water safety instructor. Currently Kathy is the lead teacher in the pre-toddler room at the farm during the school year and our swim instructor at camp in the summer at the White House.

Kathy has taught hundreds of children the lifesaving skill of swimming. Her enthusiasm, competency, knack for relating to children of any age and love of swimming has allowed all of the CCC children to learn not to fear the water and to be safe in it as they move forward in life.

During the Week of the Young Child in April 2010, Kathy was honored with a bench that sits alongside the White House pool. The plaque reads “Kathy’s Pool”. Kathy is a tremendous asset to maintaining the quality of our programs at the Farm and White House.
