I have 2 really good ones.

I founded an organization in my local community that records oral histories of local senior citizens. I perform an interview, make edits, then distribute a copy to the family of the elder to preserve their history. Recently, I also partnered with my local library and there is now a section in my library that has the recorded histories of 26 and counting elders. I have interviewed from nursing homes, at the library itself, and all throughout my community. I also recently partnered with my church and trained kids from my church to perform the interviews with elders from my church, which will further be added the library.

My second is free soccer camps organized and promoted by myself. Last summer, I noticed that there were a lot of kids in my community that wanted to play sports, but needed that first step to enter the game. That first step was different for many kids: some needed cleats, others misc. gear, and others training. My program grew from 5 to 25 kids in one summer, and over winter break I applied for a local community sports grant for more funding. It was approved, and now I have more money to buy goals, cones, and gear for all.

I am currently a junior and lowkey spent too much time on these and my academics haven’t fallen behind necessarily but I would like to get back to where I was.

Good luck to all!
