COMMUNITY WORK
Volunteering and community service has allowed me to become more involved in my community. I now have a better understanding of the societal requirements that I am attempting to address through my Fundraising and Volunteering endeavors. It has helped me improve my communication organization, teamwork, planning, problem-solving and task management skills.
