I got involved earlier this year, around January or February. A friend of mind from college has been involved with GenNext and he was telling me about all the opportunities they offer. I was finally at a good place in my career where I could devote some time to giving back so I decided GenNext would be perfect.
4. What’s been your favorite GenNext activity or memory?
Definitely St. Louis Serves Day. I was at a school in St. Louis painting. It was really eye-opening for me when I talked to some of the employees. Their whole job was centered on philanthropy. It actually made me feel a little self-centered. It made me want to devote more of my time to helping people. Click to learn more
