Greetings,
The semester has started and I am excited to get back to
volunteering. I have spent this month
mapping out what volunteer activities I am going to continue. Last semester, I spent the majority of my time
volunteering at KIPP Leadership academy.
It was a very rewarding experience, and I think that I will continue to
spend some time there. Another
volunteer activity I am excited about is Edible School Yard. Edible School Yard is a program that allows
families to get hands on experience with gardening fresh vegetables and cooking
healthy meals. Their purpose is to
create a community that takes care of our natural resources and develops a love
of fresh ingredients. I have an
orientation to begin volunteering with the organization on Saturday, and I am
excited to learn about their different methods for cultivating and sustaining a
healthy lifestyle.
An additional volunteer opportunity I am excited about is working
with NORD for a few of their upcoming special events. Some of these events include their Black
History Month program, Easter Celebration, and Youth Fit Fest. As a native, it is exciting to be able to
volunteer with a program that I participated in as a child. I cannot wait to share all of my experiences
in my blogs this semester.
