JAMES SPARACIO

Staten Island,NY

Summary

I am applying to the O'Pake Fellows Program to gain the knowledge, relationships and perspective needed to grow as a leader. A defining part of my development this summer was creating and leading a summer lacrosse training program. I launched the program to provide young athletes with structured opportunities, and learned how to transform an initial concept into a functioning venture. I am prepared to bring energy, curiosity, and a commitment to the fellowship community.
