Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal
I have had the privilege of serving as a volunteer at Hope Community Church, where I contribute both as a sports coach and a member of the safety team. In my role as a sports coach, I mentor and guide youth and adults in athletic activities that promote teamwork, discipline, and Christian values. I plan and lead practices, encourage sportsmanship, and help foster an environment where participants can grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.
