Gateway’s exceptional volunteers recognized with the Five-Year Service Award at the ceremony. Gina Kim was presented with the Youth Volunteer Award in recognition of her two years of volunteering at Gateway CHC. Gina has assisted at several youth programs: Tutoring Support, After School and Kindergarten Readiness. She easily develops a rapport with the youth attending these programs. She is a positive role model for the students, leading by example and enthusiastically participating in the various program activities. Her leadership skills are evident as she is equally confident helping a four-year-old print his name or instructing older students on safe food preparation techniques. It appears volunteering runs in the Kim family as shortly after Gina started volunteering, her younger sister Kate decided that she would like to become a volunteer at the centre. Kate is also a key volunteer at the youth programs
offered by the centre. Her encouraging manner had the three- and four-yearolds in the Kindergarten Readiness Program who initially refused to participate in an activity, wanting to be the first ones to try new things! Kate assisted at the Tutoring Support Program where her
encouraging manner helped the students attending the program develop a feeling of “I can do this!” Kate was also presented with the Youth Volunteer Award at the ceremony. Lyn Linton, Executive Director at Gateway CHC said, “Our volunteers
are truly a gift to our communities as they embrace the Gateway Community Health Centre slogan, ‘Every One Matters.’ Without the support of volunteers like Betty Holt, Gina Kim, and Kate Kim, many of our programs at the centre would not be possible.”
