These experiences inspired her to pursue a parks and recreation management degree from Arizona State University, where she will graduate in May. “Applying for a volunteer position at 14 years old has turned into a college degree and a career path,” she said. Hailey’s experience reflects what Parks and Recreation hopes for every young person — a place to blaze your trail, build meaningful relationships and discover where your passions can take you. “It’s hard work some days, but there’s never a day a joke’s not said, a laugh isn’t had and a stronger relationship isn’t made,” she said. “This is my favorite place to be.”

“Seeing the kids excited, seeing families come in and excited to go [to the ice rink], it’s definitely a very rewarding part of the job.”
