It's National Volunteer Week and we wanted to highlight some of our most active volunteers! Meet Kayla. Kayla goes to Riverdale high and is heavily involved in United Way of Southeast Louisiana Mission Ignition service program. She continually shows up for volunteer projects with us and is one of the most hardworking students we've had the privilege to work with! A word from Kayla: "Volunteering in my community has shaped me into the young woman I am today. I have had countless opportunities to work with HandsOn in their partnership with United Way and Mission Ignition. My experience in our community has taught me that everyone is entitled to a good life and sometimes they are not given the same chances as others, as it has become my duty to advocate for those people. My work in the New Orleans area volunteering has taught me everything I need to know about volunteering and it has led me to a passion for leading my peers to do the same."
Repost from @t_raines “I might be out of the final, but I don’t quit! Watch out stars, nobody’s stopping me this time. Champs VS. Stars premiers at 10pm on Tuesday, April 17th. Let’s do this! #ChampsVsStars #TonyTime” UNBELIEVABLE! We are so honored you chose US as your charity of choice! We’re rooting for you!! Good luck!
