I am a youth counselor at Briarpatch in Madison, Wisconsin. I am always looking for more ways to reach out to a community in need. I have taken many trips on a whim because people were in need. I have been to mexico where I worked in an orphanage, served breakfast, handed out hygeine packs, and even helped build a church and a house. I was in Louisiana after Katrina hit with 1500.00 worth of supplies that were all donated by people in the community. I have a passion for people of all backgrounds. Currently at the agency I volunteer with I am helping out with many things such as: crisis counseling phone line, emergency counseling intakes with teens and their families, street outreach, condom outreach, free HIV testing, homeless and runaway youth awareness. People are constantly complaining about the way the world works. I say Stop complaining and start to do something. Something as small as helping a neighbor or saying hello to someone you have never spoken to before can change the world. We need to start caring for eachother. I am looking for new opportunities and trips to take in the near future that expand my horizons, and give me more experiences. I love outreach, I believe it is the single most rewarding thing I have EVER done in my life time.
