Why she volunteers:
Ayana is passionate about helping people and nature. Volunteering offers the perfect opportunity to help build a safe environment for everyone, appreciate the value of nature, and give back to this amazing city full of opportunities. Ayana also wanted to meet new people and volunteering helped her to do that. Ayana found that helping an audience was a fun activity and it made her really happy. She was allowed to take a break from school and focus more on the community, letting her de-stress and feel mentally healthy.
The best thing about volunteering:
The best thing about volunteering is getting to meet people from all walks of life. It shapes her to be a better person and gives her a break from technology. She appreciates being in nature while doing good for her surroundings. A little bit more about Ayana: Ayana immigrated to the U.S. in 2018. When she first arrived, everything was so different and she felt a little excluded. But then she found this thing called “volunteering.” In India, she did not have opportunities to volunteer so it fascinating to her that she could help in the parks and get involved in the community.
