Your support makes a difference

Thanks to support from donors, I was able to gain valuable outside-the-classroom experience that helped me to develop my leadership skills and put what I've learned into practice.
I served as President of the Maps, Plans, Environment and Rocks Society which allowed me to participate in many volunteer activities while developing my leadership skills.
I also received valuable work experience during my internship at the Union County Conservation District last summer. There I had the opportunity to learn more about the district and how it operates as a whole. My main project was to market a riparian buffer program to farmers near my own hometown in Union County.
