Community Service

Over the past few years, I've done a lot of community service. Before high school I volunteered at the Vernon Area Public library for a few summers to work at the summer reading progrom for younger kids. My first year as a volunteer I worked the 2nd most hours out of all the volunteers and became a senior volunteer my 3rd year. I've been a captain for the past 4 years for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. I have also volunteered at the Buffalo Grove Park District and was a frequent participant of G.I.V.E. freshman and sophomore year. Freshman year I also went with the school's hip hop club to dance at SedgeBrook. Class Board and BOSS also have many community service projects.

I am looking forward to doing another community service project, outside of what I have already done. If it weren't for this class I probably would never get around to doing any of the community service that I've been wanting to do.
