Helping others to the next level in their life is one of my passions: I have learned that people will never forget a sincere and loving gesture. As a volunteer I have become a better leader and have become very organized and committed in everything I do. As a volunteer I have gained prestige and honoree positions throughout many communities and organizations.

In working with the youth at the community centers and shelters, I have become familiar with group dynamics, case studies, meetings evaluations and solutions.
I have also learned that Dealing with youths is and will be a learning experience for anyone who puts there self in this position as a volunteer.
