Hi, I’m YiKen and I’m the Director of Marketing and Fundraising this year. I’m excited to take on this new position and learn more about the behind the scenes operations for Bear Breaks. Initially, I was hesitant to start this position because I had no experience in marketing or had any knowledge about designing things for social media. However, I decided to try it out because Bear Breaks means so much to me. 

I have learned a lot about Canva (and now I have a love/hate relationship with it) and how there’s more to social media than meets the eye. I’m excited for the Spring Break Immersion trips this year. They always bring in new people who learn about active citizenship and why it is important to care about and be involved in our communities. 

Our Exec Board and Trip Leaders have been working really hard to make this a great year. Stay tuned to learn more from our Trip Leaders and participants in the future!
