Jayna Lang's first job was as a lifeguard at her local pool; she turned that summer job into a lifelong career through parks and recreation. She worked her way up to the Recreation Program Supervisor role, learning valuable lessons along the way. In this conversation, we talk about onboarding new employees, training them efficiently, and making sure to establish a values-first organization (this starts in the interview!). When asked what she looks for when hiring new employees, she says unequivocally, "enthusiasm and a passion for serving the community." Then, we dive into what it takes to form a successful relationship with partners in local communities.
