She dedicates her time to explain what Hope Academy is all about and helps you understand what you will be doing at you time of service. The volunteering offers you to be able to help students in developing their social and learning skills. These students at Hope Academy all have disabilities and taking extra time out of your day will help them develop learning skills and also help them become more sociable.

Being positive with the students at Hope Academy will help them realize how important it is to learn and become a better student and help them understand that they can do anything they out their mind too. The dedication the school puts to each individual student is amazing and lets you see how helpful someone can be in someone’s else’s
