Meet Your Neighbor: Craig Birthwright

“I graduated from SUNY Old Westbury in 2016 with a degree in media and communications. I spent some time interning at a public relations firm on Long Island while applying for jobs.  QCH’s opening for a Youth Employment Specialist instantly caught my attention.

“I have always thought that there are too many bright individuals who never reach their potential due to a lack of knowledge, so when I saw the opportunity to help these individuals on a larger scale as part of the Youth Employment Services team it was an easy decision. QCH allows me to flex my creative muscles and use my interpersonal skills in order to help youth who are entering the job world for the first time.

“This is my first career job, so it’s a life-changing experience for me.  I knew right away that I wanted to call this place home.  You come across people from all facets of life here, but we all have one thing in common: we want what is best for everybody.”
