It is now the end of June and as of right now, I have just been studying for my upcoming ACT and continuing to work with YCS. One thing we do at YCS’s Summer of Service is creating service projects based on different themes. For example, last week’s theme was focused on loneliness and mental health. To help the community combat this, we created a station that focused on interaction and writing positive affirmations for others, which were tied to crotchet hearts. Once a week we will go to a park to create this service projects similar to this and work on our leadership skills. My goal by the end of this is program is to get closer to a PVSA (Presidential Volunteering Service Award) and take what I learn to help me with my work as a public health peer leader.
