Civic ScholarGephardt Institute
As a Gephardt Institute Civic Scholar, I was awarded $5,000 to execute a civic-engagement project during the summer of 2016. I worked with the YWCA of Greater Los Angeles as a rape crisis advocate on both their crisis hotline and as an advocate at all of the hospitals and police stations in their service area. I also interned with CREATE Los Angeles to develop funding opportunities for low-income individuals to access services for mental health mentoring that emphasize the creative arts in the recovery process.
