About the Author

My name is Allie McCutcheon and my Partner for this project is Jasmine Awad. We are students of the UCF LEAD Scholars Program.

We would like to thank Dr. Debra Edgar for presenting us the organization for our project, Glen Moriarty who founded the 7 Cups organization, and the Listeners and the Members of 7 Cups because without them we would not have had this great learning experience.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

The purpose of this project is to showcase our service learning experiences from volunteering with 7 cups. 7 Cups is a therapy website that provides free emotional support and talk therapy to those who really need that help. Jasmine and I created a 7 cups listener account where we would log onto the 7 cups portal and find a member who needs help. This whole website is all anonymous in order to protect the listeners and the members identities. Jasmine and I would chat with members and figure out what seems to be troubling them and how to combat that trouble. Some of the things that we learned was to become quick problem solvers and how to build better communication skills.
