Community Service
Project 123
One of the greatest experiences in my life was going to Europe with Woods Around the World over Spring Break in 2016. Project 123 was the organization that allowed me to go on this adventure by providing half my funds in return for my completion of 123 hours of community service
​
To fill my 123 hours I volunteered at several local non-profits over the course of one semester. Among these were two animal shelters, one homeless shelter and several events to raise awareness of cancer and other conditions.
Here are my references who are most familiar with my character and work experience
