Hyun’s Family Group
I feel that the Family Group component of CfY offers a deeper layer of relationships that can form within the community. It gives us as mentors an opportunity to get to know other students and mentors better. I think what makes CFY unique are the different layers of relationships that you build.
1. The one with mentor/student
2. The Family group
3. The CfY community
Each layer gives an opportunity to build relationships and the Family Group helps you to strengthen your relationship with your student as well as the opportunity to better know a select group of people in the community.
