Social Impact
The idea of social impact is a little vague when it comes to advocating for international communities. Being unable to see such communities and their needs, they have to rely on second-hand sources. But part of the volunteer program and service-learning involves integrating with a community and seeing what problems they may have. This is a much more tangible thing than simply reading about issues on social media. Because it's more tangible, it can have a larger impact and inspire volunteers to advocate for social justice in ways they couldn't have before. Since 2010 we have touched the lives of thousands of children and women living in poverty by:
offering communities in need with school supplies, holiday gifts, rebuilding homes and schools, offering art lessons, dance lessons, health, and English.
created a university volunteer chapter to engage in service-learning programs with students and educators.
donated funds to Women entrepreneurs in the Dominican Republic battling cancer.
created grassroots partnerships within villages in developing countries.
