*BEST BUDDIES is a non-profit international
organization which pairs up college students with people in the community
for one-on-one friendships. I have been involved with Best Buddies
for 3 years. For 2 years I was Co-College Buddy Director (co-chair)
of Grand Valley's sector of Best Buddies.
*SOSAD is a non-profit organized based
out of Detroit, Michigan that serves the community through support groups

I volunteered there on Monday nights for the children's support group over
the summer of 2001.

program. It houses several different social issues. Through
V!GVSU I have been involved in campus clean up, empathy training, Alternative
Weekends and other various volunteer activities.
*ASB is an opportunity for students to
spend their spring break learning about and volunteering with different
social issues around the United States. I have been involved with

have worked with the following social issues: Heath and AIDS, Disabilities
and Youth.
*Make-A-Wish is a non-profit foundation in which they grant wishes
to kids, ages 2.5 through 18, who have a terminal illness. This
is an organization I have currently gotten involved with for a class.
