Ava Hollingsworth, Millard North
Describe how you participate in a group.
I recently obtained the position of Vice President of Leadership for my high school DECA chapter. This role has allowed me to connect with other chapter leaders across the state, furthering my leadership development and service to my chapter. This year, we have planned numerous volunteer opportunities at MNHS and have increased membership within our chapter. As the VP of Leadership for DECA, I was able to collaborate with Children's Saving Institute (CSI) and help organize a wonderful community event for children in the foster care system. Touch A Truck is an extremely large free outdoor event with all types of Trucks, Emergency Vehicles and even a Helicopter. Over 3,000 kids and families come for the opportunity to explore vehicles they may have never seen before, play free activities and games as well as free giveaways. I set up all of the high school volunteers from my school and distributed their volunteer assignments. I was responsible for watching over children while they played in the bouncy castles along with making sure everyone on my team was alert and performing their duties successfully.
