I just graduated from the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio, with a double major in Art History and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. School aside, I enjoy reading, jogging, listening to music (especially Shakira!), lifting, doing yoga, and hanging out with friends. While in Belfast, I will be serving with the Glengormley Presbyterian Church working with youth from the congregation and the community in a mixed area of North Belfast and assisting with a parents and pre-school group, art club, and other programs. I'll also be working with The Vine Community and Advice Centre in a low-income area in North Belfast. The Vine provides a comprehensive range of community services to all age groups including after school tutoring, youth clubs, women’s groups, a senior citizen’s lunch club, an advice center for those needing help filling in forms, and JAFFA (Jesus A Friend For All) a Christian education outreach for children.
The Young Adult Volunteer program is a year-long service program for young adults between ages 19 and 30. Read more about the YAV program here
