Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

Well hello there! This project focuses on two university students volunteering at a charter school that focuses on inclusivity, giving students with special needs a chance to fulfill their education like everyone else. Learning from a course called Leadership Through Service: An Advanced Leadership Experience (LDR 3215), Tamar Isidor and Natalya Sparrow used what they've learned in class and applied it to an educational field that can be practiced.

As both students volunteered, they developed skills such as patience and quick problem-solving. They also learned the importance of cooperating with teachers and administrators to see the connection between every worker's role and how it impacts students' learning.
