Relevant Experience
Humanitarian Work for At Risk Youth- Spent three weeks in the U.S. Virgin Islands doing construction for at risk youth on the island St. Croix. Got to meet with some of the youth involved in the program and discuss the advantages of having a building where kids can come to for resources and to create positive connections.
Addiction Recovery Work at Male Juvenile Detention Center- Had the opportunity to go to Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facility and Logansport Juvenile Correctional Facility in Indiana to talk with the inmates about their experience with substance abuse. Discussed and created goals they were working up while finishing their sentence as well as goals for when they return to society.
