• Teen Board Liaison

  • Sep 2016 - Present

  The Philly Friendship Circle is an organization that seeks to create a community of tolerance and acceptance. It pairs teens with and without special needs, in an effort to create meaningful relationships (like my treasured friendship with Aubrey). I have participated in both their Sunday Circle and Friends at Home programs. My freshman and sophomore year I was on the general board, and my junior year I was on the executive board, leading my committee's monthly meetings. This year I am the sole teen board liaison, connecting the teen board with the larger adult board. I run social media, spread community awareness, develop Friends at Home programming, and present teen points of view to the board. Show less



Radnor Young Democrats

  • Sep 2018 - Present

  The Radnor Young Democrats Club works in tandem with local representatives to integrate youth into various political environments. We are dedicated to supporting budding Democrats and discussing important and relevant issues (such as climate change, immigration policies, constitutional rights, and free speech, among many others). Our meetings focus on including a variety of voices and facilitating discussion. Some recent projects have included registering voters, distributing signs, fundraising, and presenting issues of highest priority to the school board and other local government officials. I became a co-president in my junior year and continued this role throughout my senior year. Over the summer (2021), I worked with the Radnor Dems to develop an intern program to include more social media, outreach, and fundraising and continue to serve as an intern coordinator and leader.

Jewish Leadership Fellowship

  My synagogue partnered with the national Impact Center to create a mentoring program for social action and community service. Teens engage with social justice activists and projects through study and immersive experiences. Weekly meetings explore political and societal issues, as well as provide community service to aid the homeless and disabled.
