During my short high school "career", I had the wonderful opportunity to aid my school in volunteer work around the metro area. We had many opportunities to help veteran communities with food and home improvements, support homeless through Harvesters and make lives better at local pounds. Local churches would provide financial support, allowing us to go on hikes-slowly putting nature back together as we went on by picking up trash, smoothing out mud erosion on trails, and overall making sure trails were safe to walk on. The Innovation Academy gave exceptional opportunities for character building and skill-work building.
