What is your school and grade? Also, how long have you been involved with H4H?

I’m a junior at Oak Ridge High School, and have been involved with Hands4Hope for two years.

Why did you join Hands4Hope?

I joined Hands4Hope so I could make a positive impact in my community and give back to those in need!

How has Hands4Hope helped you in life?

Hands4Hope has introduced me to so many new people who share the same interests with me, and has helped me with my leadership skills.

What has your experience been like since joining?

My experience with Hands4Hope has been great, the environment and the people I am surrounded by in Hands4Hope are amazing.

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experiences with Hands4Hope?

Hands4Hope has made me appreciate what I am given in life so much more! Participating in the homeless outreach at Loaves and Fishes in Sacramento helped me realize how many people there are in our community that are in need, and it was so eye opening to see how much they appreciated the food!

Being the youth intern for the Winter Boutique this year taught me great teamwork and leadership skills, I loved every part of it and all of the people on the committee are great!

How has having Hands4Hope at your school made a difference?

Having Hands4Hope at my school is great, I love having people with similar interests with me at school. Lunch meetings are made so fun! We are currently working on a project to help children in need in our community.
