Volunteering can be a great way to learn about yourself and your future desires. Jessica Garcia, junior sociology and Spanish student, had this very experience while volunteering with a variety of organizations and social campaigns.
Garcia has been actively involved with Kids Club, Inner City Outreach, NightLight International and many more.
Through Garcia’s efforts in volunteering, she discovered a passion to help others and saw a need for community service in the world. Her time spent with these organizations helped her see a way to continue this campaign later in life.
“I think this university truly pushes their public affairs mission of ethical leadership, community engagement and cultural competence,” said Garcia. “These components make us all better humans and I admire the way the university encourages the embodiment of these characteristics.”
