Congratulations to Yael Segal, our January 2014 Volunteer of
the Month!
Yael is a full time mom who is also a personal trainer and
registered nurse originally from Israel. She came by Met Council’s volunteer
opportunities from word from a friend when looking for a way to give back to
her community. Each week, Yael travels from Long Island to lead a chair
exercise workshop for seniors at our low-income housing site in Brooklyn. She
enjoys sharing her enthusiasm and developing relationships with the dedicated
clients who attend the workshop each week. After a few short weeks of leading,
she also generously donated a new DVD of chair exercises for our collection.
In the new year, Yael will also become a volunteer for our
Helpful Hands Program to assist clients in various tasks as they continue to
rebuild a year after Sandy. In years past, Yael has spent time volunteering to
aid children in Peru which inspired her to continue when she moved to New York
8 years ago. Her commitment to serve and give back to the community is
outstanding. For this, we are nominating Yael our Volunteer of the Month for
January 2014.
