Volunteering

At around 13 before even high school I have helped to volunteer with my local community by leading groups at my church working with small teams and as a joint leader for larger groups. As I've gotten older i moved on to things like mission trips and leading at soup kitchens as well as giving extra hours to the restaurants I've worked at to make difficult times easier.
