My typical day goes like this:

The average day for Civic Engagement? The hardest, but also greatest part of Civic Engagement is that there is no average day.

One morning I may get up at 7, another I get up at 5:30. At the start of the week I found myself in Long Island City to prep a service project, and the next day I needed to go into East Harlem to scout out a new site and help lay the foundation for a new service partnership. From chopping wood to designing a volunteer training session, there's always something different I have to do. Does that make it challenging? Sure. But it stops me from being complacent, and always gives rme something new to look forward to.
