Ajah Alvarez

I attended Independence High School my freshman and sophomore year but moved to Tracy during summer 2022 and attended Tracy High School and graduated from there in May 2024. I have been volunteering ever since I was little even if it was at church or around the neighborhood. I love working with others and learning new ideas and ways I can better myself and the world. Working with animals has been a very special dream of mine and I have taken the initiative to take classes in high school to continue forward loving animals and hopefully being in the veterinarian field in the future. For the time being I have started working with kids and took a job at a YMCA and have opened a new love for working with kids and being able to help kids with school and express who they are as an individual. I am very grateful to have these volunteer jobs that have shaped and helped me to be the person I am today. I want to continue growing my skills and gaining new opportunities to do so.

• Provided care for animals by feeding, cleaning cages, walking dogs, and providing companionship.
• Volunteered for an event the shelter was throwing called Fast and Furriest
• I helped with preparing, set up, and breakdown of community and public events.
• The event was a run that the community could participate in with their dogs, this raised money for the animals in the shelter for other necessities like food, toys, medicine, cages, etc.
