She was first introduced to PLA at the age of 12. She started off as a camper, and after 6 years, became a junior counselor for 2 years and a lead counselor for 2 years following. Increasing her leadership responsibilities, Shay took up the role of Assistant Director of the PLA Summer Camp, then became the camp’s Co-Director. Her goal is to give the youth of Chester the same experience she had when she was a camper. She wishes for the youth to have that same opportunity and space to learn new things, find new hobbies, and become more expressive.
