Community Service
National Honor Society
As a member of the National Honor Society at Ladue, I volunteer at multiple school-sponsored events for both the high school, the middle school, and within our local community. Just this past semester we ran activities for the Boo Bash at the Middle School. I volunteer at the St. Louis Book Fair. We provide tutoring support for younger students who need help with their studies. And I also volunteered and helped staff a Holiday Shop that is run at our school on the weekends during two weekends in December. Families who need extra support during the holidays can come to shop for free and select toys, books, and clothes for their loved ones.
K.A.R.E Camp Counselor
A local St. Louis non-profit organization that means Kindness. Action. Responsibility. Education. It's mission is through introductions to non-profit organizations and global causes, K.A.R.E. Camps facilitate age-appropriate discussions, on-site visits, hands-on projects, and unique service opportunities to inspire girls and boys to be grateful, compassionate and kind. K.A.R.E. Camp opens hearts to a lifetime of compassion and giving back.
I serve as a camp counselor for K.A.R.E Camp each summer since I was 15 years old, leading a group of counselors each week as we did community service throughout the St. Louis area during the day camp. I would volunteer for two weeks every summer to serve in this leadership capacity because I enjoy working with kids and giving back. At the end of each week the campers would design and create their own fundraiser to help raise money for the non-profits that they supported through the week with their time and talents.
Operation Food Search
I volunteered at the local food bank with my friends to help sort food and packages.
Epworth Drop-In Center
Through my church at Salem United Methodist, I have volunteered by helping to prepare meals at Salem's kitchen for the youth at Epworth's Drop In Center.
