Summary

Working for a community center requires knowledge on the community itself, and the people that are in it. Responsibility, patience, respect, and communication are the main factors that are expected in not only this specific environment, but everywhere. Working in different fields in the same community offers the opportunity to familiarize with it and its people as well as provide multiple chances to evolve as a worker. Adapting quickly in any situation has become an additional yet necessary skill when working in a community center, and by applying to a new field of work and into a new environment would allow for even more knowledge and skills to take place.
