Volunteer Service Experience
Since the implementation of the Volunteer Service Experience, I have played an instrumental role in designing the program at Palisades High School and continue to improve the program to meet the needs of the community. The Palisades School District initiated this program to foster leadership experiences through partnerships with approved local organizations. As the facilitator at the high school, I work as a liaison between the community and our students, striving to provide opportunities for students to acquire life skills, develop leadership skills, and explore career choices.
