Background

About Tien do

In my former position as the Volunteer Leader at Vietnamese American Cultural Center, I assisted the supervisor to facilitate various programs for children and youth. My duties ranged from coordinating activities for different age groups to planning and conducting cultural events for the community. I created a safe and positive environment for students to do homework during the after-school program. Students were tutored and developed their self-study skills. In addition, I had an opportunity to organize and lead a group of children through the 10-week summer program at the center where they had many fun and healthy activities. This job has provided me the opportunities to refine my communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills - the skill sets that allow me to successfully direct and lead groups with diverse backgrounds and personalities. In addition to program managing, I excel in many administrative tasks which are required for my mental health caregiver position. In my previous position, I provided case management for clients, assisted them in daily activities. I have a close connection with many non-profit agencies in San José, such as Catholic Charities, VIVO, and ICAN which helps me gather many resources and direct clients to appropriate services based on their needs.
