About the Author

My name is Daniel Hernandez. My fellow group members, Erica Janosko, I'Asia Wilson, Alejandra Cordero, and I have compiled this presentation. We are students in the LDR2002: Intermediate Foundations of Leadership spring 2025 course. I want to thank our service sites, Zooniverse and the Humane Society of Polk County, for allowing us to volunteer with their organizations and provide the information needed to complete our presentation.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

Our project aimed to implement servant leadership and the social change model teachings into the world of Animal Rights. Through volunteering at the Humane Society of Polk County and Zooniverse, a virtual volunteering website, we were able to impact our community and the world to improve the lives and understanding of animals in our community and abroad. one of our group members, Alejandra Cordero, volunteered in-person at HSPC to enhance the lives of dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, and to educate her community on the responsibilities of a pet owner. At the same time, the rest of our group volunteered virtually with Zooniverse. We worked with Shark Spy, a New Zealand research organization, to catalog sharks, rays, and skates along the New Zealand coast. We depend on our understanding of the importance of group communication and discovered that virtual volunteering impacts the community just as much as volunteering in person.
