When I first started volunteering as a teenager, I saw first hand how much charitable organizations needed volunteers to operate and grow. I also learned that many people wanted to help out and volunteer, but didn't know how to get started or faced other roadblocks to getting involved. So, I co-founded an organization, ME³, to help individuals get started volunteering in their communities. Today, ME³ works to connect over 250 local volunteers to over 50 charitable organizations in our community. We are also working with local schools to implement our curriculum, which teaches students about volunteerism, leadership, and social issues, so that every student can have access to learning about being a volunteer citizen and community leader.
