On January 11, 2010, Ms. Katie Hyojung Kim began her new role as Executive Director at the YWCA of Queens. She started her career at the Y in 2006 and had been serving as Program Director for the Adult Education Programs and Social Services. Some of Kim's responsibilities have included the Women to Work Program, which provides job readiness skills to immigrant women, the Adult Literacy Program and the Summer Literacy Festival. Kim comes from a diverse background which contributes to her success here at the Y.Kim's background includes International and Comparative Studies in Education. She left California after accepting the Dean's Fellowship through NYU's School of Education and is fluent in four languages including Korean, French and Japanese. Her wide range of work allows her to lead and learn, while being culturally competent to the communities the YWCA of Queens serves.
Among her many goals is continuing to bring the mission of the YWCA of Queens to existence through its programs. She hopes the Y will be a place of inclusive community where women and youth will be confident and empowered. She is excited about her new responsibilities and looks forward to continuing her service here.
