Hello, my name is Gina and I attend Clarkston High School in Clarkston, Michigan. I am so happy to be involved with the 2009 Service Learning Youth Council (SLYC) because even though I have attended only one meeting so far, its something that I knew I was immediately interested in and looking forward to seeing what impact I can really have on my community.I have served my community through my church helping out with can and blood drives, fundraising, and fasts to learn more about religion and serving those less fortunate. I have also volunteered at a summer camp for two weeks and have met tons of new people and dedicated a lot of time repairing camp sites for the campers.
These are two examples of what I have done to serve my community already, but in order to continue feeling a sense of pride in my work, I must continue serving. That’s why I’m looking forward to being involved with SLYC, as it will continue my service-learning career.
