I was part of an organization called National Charity League and this organization helped grow women’s confidence, public speaking skills, time management, and organizational skills. Each month, each class holds meetings to plan and discuss projects that follow the class’s focuses. This past year Class of 2023 philanthropic focus is children, cultural focus is international food, and for leadership we are focusing on self care and reflecting on the NCL experience.

Some of these student leaders are able to work with large budgets, recruit large numbers of members, and fundraise for many different charitable non-profit organizations and non-governmental organizations.

I have realized throughout the process of holding a Bible study that it is a strenuous task.
