RAISE Employee of the Month

Avi — employee at the Jewish Federation and Central Florida Hillel

Avi is a valued member at both the Jewish Federation of Greater Orlando and at Central Florida Hillel. At JFGO Avi works directly with Marisa, the Federation’s administrative assistant. He helps her with office work and has played a huge role in helping to get the art room in the JCC organized. At Hillel, Avi works diligently to keep the common areas of Hillel sparkling clean, to replenish snacks, to organize the supply closets and take inventory, and to help prepare the weekly Shabbat dinner.

Avi has shown that he can be flexible and adapts to new tasks as he never know exactly what he is going to be asked to do when he goes to work each day. At Lunch and Learn Avi asks a lot of questions to further his understanding of concepts and participates in all discussions and activities.

Avi is a hard worker who takes his responsibilities seriously. He is learning how to pay attention to details and the quality of his work. He is respectful of his job coaches and takes direction well.

Recently Avi began taking a class at Valencia, so he is also learning time management skills-balancing his work schedule with his school schedule.

The RAISE job coaches and administration are thrilled with the progress Avi has made and continues to make in RAISE.
