Hello! I'm Ella Robinett and I use she/her/hers pronouns. I am 21 years old from Birmingham, Alabama. I just graduated from Tulane University with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology, double minors in Public Health and Gender Studies. I am passionate about social justice, arts and crafts, cooking and recipe sharing, LGBTQ+ rights and wellness, health equity, and so much more. I'm so incredibly excited to complete my YAV year in New Orleans, Louisiana and to meet my fellow YAVs this coming August.Â
What is YAV?
YAV is the Young Adult Volunteering program throguh PCUSA. PCUSA has multiple YAV sites nationwide, and even a few international sites! YAVs are paired with community partners and engage in local non-profit work. I am placed in New Orleans, Louisiana with 5 other YAVs. I have just graduated from Tulane with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, double minors in Public Health and Gender Studies. Through my year in service, I am excited to get to know New Orleans through a non-student lens and to expand my wonderful community here.
