• American Legion Buckeye Boys State Ohio: I was chosen by the American Legion Post 790 to participate in The American Legion Department of Ohio's Buckeye Boys State. Buckeye Boys State took place at Miami University, and around 150 prospective leaders gathered to learn about the governing systems within the United States. During Boys State I was elected city party chairman where I regulated the party meetings within the city, which decided who'd run for each city position. I was also elected to be in our City Council, and later elected City Council President.
• Ambassador for American Legion Post 790: In order to help spread a light on Buckeye Boys State, I help the Post that chose me. I help them raise money and scout other potential attendees to participate in Buckeye Boys State. I have fund raised over $500, and brought awareness of the program to numerous different schools.
• Community Groups - Brother Group 5 Leader: I lead a group of boys in the school who all live in the same area. We meet every Wednesday during school. We talk about ways we can outreach in our community. We meet on the third Saturday of the month to serve our community. Some of the ways we have served are: food drives, homeless shelters, picking up trash, and raising money.
• City of Sharonville Student Government Day: I was invited to partake in my city's Student Government Day. I followed members of the city council around and learned about the governing system within my city, as well as the different parts that make up the city government.
