She navigates them with her core emotions—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—that are guiding her from a console in her mind.

By Jordyn Bain N = New information So far this summer, I’ve learned that many NGOs working with Ukrainian refugees in Prague face significant challenges stemming from inconsistent government funding, overreliance on short-term volunteers, and governmental constraints that limit their ability to work efficiently. This insight has complicated my previous view that NGOs are always well-equipped and well-funded.

By Maria Clara Oliveira I have learned the different methods that are taken place in programs for the homeless in order to ensure that these programs can actually have a positive imapct in the lives of those who are a part of the program. Before my experience I thought that programs that help with the homeless population were just there to give housing opportunities and to provide food for those unhoused, basically to provide a basic human essential need.

I imagined everyone around me either deep into law school or laser-focused on getting there. What I quickly realized is—like many things in life—that picture was only half the truth. In reality, many of the people I work with haven’t attended law school at all.

By Frances Alicea N – New Information Volunteering at the VA clinic this summer has taught me much more than I expected about veterans’ struggles. Before this experience, I mostly thought of healthcare disparities in terms of access to appointments or lower quality healthcare, but being in the clinic day after day has opened my eyes to deeper issues like stigma around mental health, language and cultural barriers, and the long-term impact of trauma.
