Paying it forward

“I tutor and mentor grade school students at Milwaukee College Prep. Also, I try to get as many high school kids as possible to participate in strengthening the program. I also try to bridge the division between our two communities. My main project is Kids for Kids. I also participate in Relay for Life; however, my main focus is still Kids for Kids. Since the end of my freshman year, my friend Dani Fleming and I started it. We wanted to spend more time together while doing something beneficial for the community, so we started Kids for Kids. Seeing how excited the kids get when the volunteers walk in and watching the kids grow and progress from where they started to where they are now is the best part of the program.” (Chandlar Strauss, senior)
