Take a look at the t-shirts.  I have bought a few myself and have received very positive feedback from others.

Welcome to the ETSS
Quarterly Newsletter!
We are excited to share our updates on staff, programming and upcoming events. Keep scrolling to read highlights, get updates on each of our department activities, learn about upcoming events and find ways you can get involved!
Staff Spotlight: Priya Sharma
Priya Sharma is a Lead Coordinator in the ETSS Youth Summer Employment Program and a long-time tutor in the ETSS Youth After School Program. Priya attended ETSS After School Program when she and her family first came to the US. When she was 17, Dr. Seleshi asked her to start working in the Youth Program . Since then Priya has been a strong tutor, leader and mentor for the youth at our North I and North II sites and spent some time working in the Family Care Department advocating for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. She has been a steady and patient presence for our youth. She is a strong advocate for her community not only at ETSS but through other organizations as well. Priya serves on the Board of the Bhutanese Community of Central Ohio and she has led young women's empowerment groups at the BCCO.
Most recently Priya has been coaching the Yoddha FC Columbus team, a Bhutanese-Nepali girl's soccer team. Yoddha FC Columbus brought home the 2nd place trophy from the BASC 9th National Soccer Tournament in Atlanta. This tournament attracts the best Bhutanese-Nepali soccer teams from across the United States!

Priya is a strong advocate for her community and an ambitious young leader. She not only works at ETSS, advocates through the BCCO and coaches a youth soccer team but she is also pursuing her bachelor's degree in social work at Ohio State. We are lucky to have people like Priya working with our youth and in our community. We can't wait to see what she does next!
