About the Author

We are a part of UCF's LEAD Scholars Academy, and this semester we learned about the many ways we can serve children with special needs. We spent our time this semester volunteering with UCP of Central Florida and demonstrating servant leadership with this community.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

The purpose of our project was to assist and foster connections with students and faculty at Unlocking Children's Potential (UCP) Charter Schools. The main focus of our group's service was to assist with day to day classroom activities at UCP. Our goal was to provide a helping hand and watchful eye for the faculty teaching students at UCP. Fostering connections with students at UCP was also an important goal for our service. Each of us individually served in different places at UCP, but every member of the group had extensive contact with at least 13 students in a classroom setting, as well as teachers or teaching aids. Our hope was to foster positivity and meaningful connections within UCP, while also being a help to those around us.
