Quaker Ridge Fellows
This summer we completed another successful Quaker Ridge Fellows Program with eight students from New Rochelle High School. The highlight of each week was “Momentum Wednesday,” when students learned about STEM, financial literacy, writing, and public speaking and attended “career lunches” with club members from a variety of industries.
On their other days at the club, the students interned with the general manager, golf course maintenance, golf operations, tennis operations, the kitchen, and food and beverage. You can read about their summers here, and watch Nyah Rosado’s video report below.
