Hi! I'm Hailey.

In 7th grade, I was given the opportunity to spend my gym time during school with the special ed class. I adored every minute I had with them, and made many long-lasting friendships. In 8th grade, my best friend and I created a peer-buddy club, that allowed 7th graders to cycle through and hang out with our friends during lunch. It was a huge success, and everyone involved had an amazing time. I witnessed firsthand such potential in every student in that class, so when I heard about the depressing statistics that could apply to my friends' futures, I knew something had to be done.

I was introduced to the idea of a service project in a summer camp. The camp was Teens Change the World, a week-long service and leadership experience hosted by Activate Good. The program gives teens the opportunity to volunteer, learn about a variety of local causes, hear from social impact experts, and even pitch their ideas for social impact. I was one of the winners of the grant, and started on the project right away! With the help of mentors from Activate Good and so many others that were willing to sacrifice their time and provide their guidance through interviews, my project was able to take flight. I collected resources over the course of several months, and finally compiled it together in one place. It would bring me joy to know that this website helped even one individual get a job!
