AYTEF Academic & Enrichment Volunteers (GSM)

I had a very fun time playing jeopardy with the kids!

I am extremely thankful that I had the opportunity to serve and give back to the youth today. It was such a meaningful and rewarding experience, and I truly enjoyed being able to spend time helping, encouraging, and making a positive impact in the lives of children. Experiences like this remind me why service is so important to me and why I want to continue finding ways to give back to my community.

This opportunity was especially meaningful because I plan to build my future career around working with children. Whether I become a child psychologist or a clinical social worker, I want my work to center around supporting, advocating for, and uplifting young people. Being able to serve children now gives me valuable experience while also strengthening my passion for the career path I have chosen. I would love to participate in more opportunities like this because I know that every experience helping children allows me to grow personally, professionally, and as someone who hopes to make a lasting difference in their lives.
