In this peer mentor role I mentored UofA freshmen and helped them navigate their first semester at the University of Arkansas.

The Empower Program pairs the UofA's undergraduate students with students who have mild cognitive disabilities. Every Monday morning I spend 1-2 hours with my mentee, Brandon. Before walking Brandon to his speech class we will work on his homework, assignments, or speeches.
This was such a rewarding experience. I volunteered at Cross Church in Springdale. Cross Church hosted the Tim Tebow Foundation's, "Night to Shine," a prom-like dance for participants with special needs. I was paired with a buddy. We spent the whole night getting to know each other. I made sure he enjoyed his dinner, the Photo Booth, the karaoke, and the dance. It was so much fun!
I donated a total of $30.00 to Kappa Delta's angels for the Angel Tree project but realized I could only send a max of $25.00 for a total of 5 CS hours. I still loved getting to help!
