Casey Yunits Youth Advisor New England
As Youth Advisor for A Circle of Women, New England, Casey looks forward to developing enlightened leadership and peace building with young women. Her past experience includes youth development and education. She has worked with children of all ages in Brockton, MA, Washington D.C, and Moldova. Her intrigue in multicultural education was peeked while volunteering for DC Reads at Cavalry Bilingual Multicultural Learning Center in Columbia Heights. After graduating from Catholic University in Washington, DC, Casey wanted to explore a new culture and experience life in a developing world. The United States Peace Corps sent her to live in Moldova, an impoverished country in Eastern Europe. There she worked as a Community and Organizational Development Consultant for the NGO, "Muza" Center for Intellectual and Creative Development of Children. As a Peace Corps Volunteer in Moldova, she was the Coordinator of the Gender and Development Committee, and organizer of nationwide Women and Youth Leadership Programs. More than 2 years living in Eastern Europe afforded Casey the opportunity to travel extensively in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Istanbul, Thailand, Nepal and more. She has also spent six months in Western Australia, and volunteered in Ecuador. Casey is excited to share the knowledge she has learned from being overseas with A Circle of Women. “Peaceful leadership,” she says, “will put our nation back on the right track, which is why A Circle of Women is so important today.” Casey is currently serving as an elementary school teacher in Lebannon for the next two years.
