Volunteer Spotlight :: Chloe Simon

Chloe Simon, an 8th grader at Marina Village Middle School, has been with Hands4Hope since she was a 6th grader.  Chloe has participated in over sixty Hands4Hope events and outreaches since her time with us and is such a joy to work with and asset to our organization.  We recently interviewed Chloe about her experience with Hands4Hope, here's what she had to say...

H4H: What brought you to Hands4Hope?

Chloe: I, at first, was just doing H4H because I needed community service hours in the 6th grade, but after a while I started to greatly enjoy volunteering and try to do it as often as I can.

H4H: What are a few of your favorite things about H4H?

Chloe:  I like to do a lot of the homeless outreaches (both the Placerville and Sacramento outreaches) and I also enjoy doing the Green Valley Community Church Saturday Cafe in Placerville.  I also like the concept of H4H, which is a youth organization that gives back to the community because it sets a great image for youth and opens their eyes up to what happens in poorer communities and the less fortunate. 

H4H: What have you learned from being involved with H4H?

Chloe: I have learned how grateful many people are that we help them out on such a regular basis. I have also learned that even though I am only a teenager, I can still contribute and make a difference in my community.

H4H: How has volunteering made you feel?

Chloe: It makes me feel so grateful for what I have when I volunteer and also feel very empathetic towards the people that we help out.

H4H: How do you see yourself being involved with H4H in the future?

Chloe: I am going to make sure that I will stay as involved with Hands4Hope as I am right now. I am currently the treasurer at the H4H Club at Marina Village and volunteer very regularly.

H4H:  Would you recommend for friends and other people your age to get involved with H4H?

Chloe:  I definitely would recommend for my friends and other fellow peers to get involved with H4H.

Thank you Chloe for involvement with Hands4Hope and your willingness to learn and grow through Exploration, Action and Leadership!
