2023 President's Volunteer Service Award, Gold
From August of 2022 to May of 2023, I was able to accumulate 330 hours of community service. I was able to do this by founding and leading my own NPO, interning with another NPO, volunteer for meals on wheels in my local area, and assist with a smaller NPO named Africa Active. I did all this while in my junior year in high school, balancing 3 AP classes and varsity swim with these various organizations.
