-: My name is Malik Perry, I'm the Youth Advancement Director
at the Muncie YMCA here in Muncie, Indiana.
There I do a lot of different things involving youth.
I run our youth sports situation, so it's a lot
of basketball, football, baseball, things of that nature,
also with summer day camp and winter day camp.
So I'm in charge of everything Y-related
when regards to youth in Delaware County,
when it comes to youth sports and youth advancement.
Me, I'm big on personal experience
and I'm big on volunteer experience.
I understand you can have a 4.0 GPA and be phenomenal
in class, but what are your real-life skills,
we're interacting with it.
I'm big on, okay, how do you understand people?
How do you deal with conflict?
Conflict resolution is extremely huge part of this job,
because everybody interacts differently
as far as communication.
So I'm big on, okay, have you volunteered somewhere
in the community where you're dealing with the demographic
that you're probably going to work with?
