I began volunteering for School on Wheels, a non-profit organization dedicated to tutoring homeless children, in march of 2021. I thought this was an experience worth sharing with other students so I reached out to a SOW regional coordinator to start a School on Wheels chapter at UCSB. The coordinator thought this was a great idea, however, informed me that I had to come up with the club organization on my own. It was difficult to create the leadership framework and organization, so I contacted other college chapters  for advice.

I wrote the club constitution, created the leadership framework, set the goals and mission of the club, and then asked my friends to start the organization with me. 

​

UCSB School on Wheels became an official organization in spring of 2021 and I served as the president from Spring 2021-Winter 2022. Within 3 quarters, UCSB SOW raised over $10,000 in grants, donations, and school supplies. In addition to serving as president, I planned and oversaw the fundraisers, lead recruitment, created the content for all social media, and continued volunteer work with School on Wheels. I am now working with other colleges to help begin and grow chapters on their respective campuses.
