As many of you know, I am not in my hometown this summer. Instead, I am starting my adventure in Des Moines, Iowa. I am working with a non-profit organization called Iowa Safe Schools. Iowa Safe Schools works to prevent bullying in schools against LGBT youth. I have a strong passion in the organization as I identify myself as being gay (I will post more about this soon). I have loved working with the organization and have had the opportunity to write some amazing grants and do some great research for resources that will help many education professionals, parents, health professionals, and community members find ways to include LGBT youth.

Working with the organization has opened my eyes into the ways non-profit organizations earn money, the workings of one, and how to work on many projects at once and get them all done in a timely manner. It has been a great experience and I have loved living in a big city, at least bigger than my hometown.
I am also working at American Eagle at Jordan Creek and have had a blast and learned more about myself by working there as well. I have never worked in retail before, but I have loved every minute!!
