About the Author

Hi my name is Zephaniahn Torres, I am a second-year student in the LEAD Scholars Academy Program. I am also the Finance Director for this organization where I keep track of the budget for the year. In this program I am currently in the LDR 3215 class which is focused on healthcare. Which is why I decided to continue my volunteer efforts with the non-profit organization called Love Serving Autism, in which I describe my experience in this project.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

My name is Zephaniahn Torres, I am in the LEAD Scholars Academy where my Service-Learning class 3215 is focused on healthcare in the community. My project encapsulates the volunteer work I did with a non-profit organization called Love Serving Autism. This organization focuses on teaching children and adults with autism how to play tennis. This is very beneficial to the kids as they learn vital life lessons as well as engage in physical activity that's fun. I indulged in this service weekly on Saturdays at the UCF Tennis Courts. In my project I discuss my role as a volunteer and the impact I have been making to the kids and adults with autism. I dive deep into how valuable this experience is for the kids and how enriching it is for the volunteers.
