Minnesota Youth Advocate 2021, YMCA Youth Advocay program

In 2020, I was selected to be the Youth Representative of Minnesota for the YMCA national policy efforts and Minnesota in Congressional lobbying efforts. As an Advocate I became en expert on legislation that. had the potential to improve millions of lives across the United states. My position included traveling to D.C. to meet with MNs representatives to lobby for this issues and be a source of information and a starter of discussion.

Coffee Talker,

Friends and Co.

At the University of St. Thomas, undergraduate business students take Business 200. In this course, students complete 40 hours of volunteer service with a community nonprofit of their choice based on their interests. I chose to volunteer for Friends and Co., a nonprofit that serves older adults in the Minnesota area. As a Coffee Talker, I would get calls from older adults in my community and simply talk with them about whatever they’d like, creating an opportunity for connection and meaningful relationships. I’d always look forward to my shifts because I knew that some of my new friends would be calling to share part of their life with me.
