How can one student help to coordinate nearly 1,200 service hours? Jack Phillips has figure it out and shared his experience with us! The first step is finding a cause to partner with. Jack found the Sebastian Riding Associates in 2016. The organization is a barn located in Evansburg State Park which offers therapeutic horseback riding for children with disabilities. He found this to be a great option for service hours. Each summer the SRA hosts three summer camps, where Jack first helped as a volunteer. The next step was to take on more responsibility at the SRA. Soon after he became the PJP Volunteer Director. In 2017 he recruited 17 students to help with summer camps and maintenance work, and in 2018 he was able to grow that number to 27. Finally, Jack worked with the ministry office to help get the word out about the opportunity, as well as encouraged friends to spread the word about the organization. This is not the only way Jack has helped to support the SRA. As a member of the cross country team, he has encouraged members to participate in the Legs for Lindsey 5k that occurs each summer in August. The proceeds from the race help to fund the SRA. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Jack!
