S.C.S.C Volunteer Service Award, bronze
Earned 113 credits by leading key church functions, from mission trip preparation to coordinating support for unhoused single mothers. The work deepened my sense of gratitude and responsibility, and I actively identified additional ways the church could serve families in need, strengthening my initiative and leadership.
Presidential Volunteer Service Award, silver
Completed 100+ hours serving single mothers by sorting donations, organizing drives, delivering essentials. Long days. Quiet work. Real need. Learned how small tasks add up to create a difference. Showed up weekly, even when tired. No title, just responsibility. Service became routine. Then meaningful. Then necessary.
