Build positive, professional relationships with community partners and stakeholders as a representative of MCL Masonview.
Work collaboratively within interdisciplinary teams while demonstrating sound judgment and problem-solving autonomy.
Engage participants using creativity, personal interests, and strengths to foster meaningful connection and motivation—while maintaining clear professional boundaries.
