Volunteer Experience and Leadership
As a volunteer with TRIBE Seminole Heights, I've had the chance to make a real difference in the community. I've helped spread
the word about TRIBE's mission by creating newsletters and managing communications. I've also worked on finding new ways
to support the organization, like reaching out to potential sponsors and donors. Plus, I've been part of planning fun events like
the annual Spooky Stroll, which brings everyone together. It's been amazing to see how these efforts can help TRIBE grow and
make an even bigger impact. This experience has not only been super rewarding but also taught me a lot about teamwork and
leadership.
