As a Site Leader for Alternative Breaks, I was in charge of recruiting and interviewing students for a Youth Development service trip in Jamaica for the upcoming summer. As a leader, I was tasked with coordinating communication and dissemination of information via email, social media, and face-to-face meetings. I was able to lead my team during fundraisers in which we raised $10,000+ in order to go on our service trip. I was also able to delve into the social issue with my co-site leader and participants to ensure that we were volunteering in a ethical and culturally responsible way, especially since we would be working with children.
