I spent a weekend in my hometown housesitting for my parents, and while I was there my Aunt needed to do some cleaning up to her old house. Sunday afternoon I met her at the house with my grandmother to help clean up some of the muck and issues caused by mice in the house, carry bags of wood that needed to be torn up, and I tried to help my grandmother find the source of another issue in one of the rooms of the house. I was glad to be able to spend some time with my grandmother and aunt and offer a helping hand while I was in town.

In April, I began doing volunteer graphic design and social media work for Us for Once Magazine. I have been responsible for creating graphics for the magazine's Instagram page, as well as posting and engaging with content on Instagram Stories and Twitter. Some tasks so far have included covering Coachella in posts and designing a cover for a new Instagram Highlight. This is the first opportunity I have had to do creative work related to music that I can add to my resume, and I have loved working on it.

I volunteered at River of Life in the Children's Church for Wednesday night services. For this night, I helped with our group of smaller boys and assisted them in their crafts that went with that night's lesson. I also helped in serving snacks and picking up after the kids.

This Sunday I volunteered two services in the Nursery. For first service, we had only a couple kids and we supervised them as they had play time and snacks while their parents were at church. I lead and was assisted by a teenage volunteer. In second service I assisted our children's pastor in caring for a larger group of children by engaging with them while they played and helping to clean the room following service.

I volunteered in the Junior Children's Church for two services this Sunday. I assisted Ms. Emily in teaching the children their lesson, providing snacks, and engaging with the children both during activities and playtime. I also helped to keep the room clean.

I volunteered at River of Life Church by serving in the nursery. I cared for our nursery aged children by playing with them, serving them snacks, and comforting them when they were upset. I served as the leader for that service, with help from a teen volunteer.

I served in the nursery at River of Life. I primarily cared for one baby but also assisted with the other children and cleaned up the room following church.
