Gracie LaKose serves as the Jesuit Volunteer Program Coordinator, giving a year of service to Youth Challenge post-graduation from the University of San Diego. She is responsible for planning and facilitating adapted recreational activities, collaborating with program staff in the initiation of programs, and enhancing and implementing the use of therapeutic recreation techniques.
Gracie is originally from Marin County, California. At USD, she studied Psychology and enjoyed beach days. She’s never lived anywhere where it snows, but at least Cleveland also has some beaches! Gracie is excited to bring her silly nature to YC programs and firmly believes that every day is a good day for a dance party.
