Volunteering means offering your time and skills to help others or support a cause without expecting payment or personal gain. It often involves community service, assisting non-profit organizations, participating in outreach programs, or helping individuals in need. Volunteering can take many forms, including tutoring, environmental conservation, healthcare support, or working at shelters. So far, I have a total of 302 community service hours.

S3:E4 Atlanta Change Maker
A young CEO by the name of Melvin Sancho Hodges collects shoes and athletic gear to distribute at recreation centers in Ghana. Hodges started up the non-profit organization when he realized how quickly he was outgrowing perfectly good shoes and clothes. He decided to act on it, and SHOETHICS was born, with the goal of crushing limits and barriers for kids in underdeveloped countries.
