Summary
I’ve always had a passion for volunteer work, due to my own poor circumstances growing up, I’ve always seen it as my duty to help out those less fortunate than me. I’ve volunteered at a summer camp from the years of 2023 to 2024. I’ve done multiple food jobs with our local churches and I’m looking to make my bigger impact in the world, I see the peace Corp as a gray opportunity to make my difference. That’s why I’m leaving it up to you guys to put me where I’m needed most.
