Why do you volunteer with Words Alive?
It's very inspiring to be surrounded by great people who share the same passion!
Is there a story you’d like to share about working with Words Alive?
I joined Words Alive when I was still a student in UCSD (back in 2020!) and throughout the years, I’ve seen how the organization has grown and become so much bigger than what it was years ago. I love how we always look for new ways to engage the communities we serve. I really enjoy volunteering with the organization and am very proud to be a part of the large volunteer community with Words Alive!
