Bio
Yi (David) Gai
Kennes really cares about both her youth and volunteers. She is very considerate of many things that many social workers do no consider. For example, one time she told us that if she ever sees us in public that she would purposely ignore us but we could still approach her because she didn’t want to force the question from our peers of how we met. She is great with youth and is comfortable talking about tough topics with them including but not limited to mental health.
