This past summer, I was a mentor in Project CODY (COmputing Digital literacY), which is an organization partnered with Clark University. This program aims to teach computer science concepts to students of all levels of experience, as well as "combat the educational gaps founded in socioeconomic injustice and the COVID-19 pandemic". During the two sessions of the program, I taught Game Development in Scratch, as well as Introduction to Web Development (HTML/CSS). You can find their website here

In summer 2019, I was part of a group from my church that spent a week volunteering at the Community Harvest Project locations in both North Grafton and Harvard. We spent our time picking, planting, cleaning, and packaging the fruits and vegetables that the farm grows. Some examples of the produce we picked on the farm in North Grafton include cherry tomatoes, blueberries, kale, collard greens, broccoli, turnips, and cabbages. At the orchard location in Harvard, we spent all of our time wrapping mouse guards around the bases of apple trees. CHP is the primary provider of fresh produce to locations such as the Worcester Food Bank, and it runs primarily on around 8,000 volunteers every year. Check out CHP's website here.

I have participated in several Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) MobilePack events in Worcester over the past couple of years. They are hosted at St. George Orthodox Cathedral in Worcester. Typically, we work in an assembly line style to fill bags with different nutrients, rice, and other grains. Other jobs at a MobilePack event include labeling bags that the assembly line workers will use, or doing some heavy lifting and carrying around boxes of material refills to the various assembly packing stations.
