VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE OR LEADERSHIP
Interact Club (Rotaract) (Belize, 2012 - 2013)
A volunteer organization under which I developed leadership skills as well as discovered my love for volunteer work and community service. In the year that I participated in this organization we fed the homeless, and tended to the needy.
Campus Ministry (Belize, 2014 - 2015)
An administrational body that aided in the planning of holistic and volunteer work in the wider Belizean community. Serving as deputy I garnered leadership, and organizational skills. I also dabbled in accounting. During my time in this organization we catered to the elderly, hosted drives, retreats, and even the monthly campus mass. My interpersonal skills blossomed during this time having to correspond with organizations donating, and the large group of members within the organization.
Belize Camping Experience (2012 - 2015)
A non-profit organization under which funds raised from crops grown on donated land is used to host a Christian centered summer camp and follow up programs for the children of Belize. Working as a counselor in this program I have learnt to be flexible to the needs of each child as well as honed my teaching skills.
Students Helping Students (2017 – 2019)
A program intended to aid the student body with peer helpers. After receiving a certification to give intermediate counseling and guidance to students I participated in events centered on mental health awareness as well as served as a first responder to counseling peers and Chair of the organization.
