I hope and believe that the world can be a better place when every child knows that her voice matters, and when the balance of power shifts enough to allow all of us to listen. Serviam is an agent for that magnitude of transformation.

When I visited Serviam for the first time I met a student who told me that her goal was to learn as much as humanly possible. At that moment I knew that this was the right place for me. It is so important to give students who want to learn the best opportunity to do just that.

Life and all of its experiences has been the greatest teacher.

I choose to volunteer at Serviam because I believe passionately in Serviam's mission and the importance of a solid and challenging education for our girls.

SGA is an exceptional school with dedicated and inspiring teachers and staff with a mission that I truly believe in.  I volunteer here to help in any way I can to further the program and goals of the school.  For the past 6 years I have seen the program in action, and for the most part, the resulting transition of the students from 5th grade through 8th grade has been outstanding.

I chose Serviam Girls Academy because I identified with the values of the organization and I had a great desire to collaborate with young women of the future.

Serviam Girls Academy changes the trajectory of a young woman’s life in a positive way and I am thankful to be a part of such a meaningful organization.

"Be who you needed when you were younger."  -- This is a quote that has held such a strong meaning to me for most of my adult life.  Being at Serviam allows me to put that quote into action each day. Middle school is a challenging time for young women and I am grateful to be at a place each day that not only values them, but teaches them how to succeed in this ever changing world.
