East Los Angeles, CA
Dawn G. – Community
As my S.O.U.L journey in Rochester comes to an end, I have had the opportunity to volunteer at St. Joseph’s Neighborhood Center which is an all encompassing health clinic for the underinsured and uninsured within the community. My time at the Clinic has been...
Isaiah O. – Two Major Events
Two major events happened today. Today (Thursday) was our fourth and final day volunteering at the San Miguel School. To cap off this great adventure, we were asked to fill in for four different teachers who were gone for a teacher’s conference. Appreciation for the...
Emma M. – Glacier National Park and Community
Today was a great community day! Today’s school schedule was different than the past days because they had mass. The fourth graders were the ones that lead the mass, and that is the grade I have been working with, so it was cool to see them doing readings and all the...
Yohanan U. – Love and Leadership

Aimee – Love Has No Language
I am still processing. My mind is going a million miles a minute. Today, we went to Las Americans to learn more about the process. The hoops that one has to jump through and “prove” to our government why they are seeking a better life is ridiculous. We then went to...
Jodi P. – Change, Healing, and Challenge
It was the third school day. I was impressed by how much easier it was to work with the children after just a couple days. The 4th graders are incredibly sweet, intelligent, and energetic. Parts of me wishes I was in the fourth grade with them, so I could be a part of...
