I stayed in Tulsa because I wanted to continue the work I started here during my time with TSY and continue building community with leaders to create a Tulsa that can be a home to all.
I chose Tulsa Service Year because it provides the opportunity to directly work in the field you want to work in while you’re also able to see tangible change in the community you’re working in.
The most meaningful part of Tulsa Service Year was me becoming. It pushed me in ways that I didn't even know I needed. That year post-college is what started the rest of the chapters of my life. For that, I am so grateful.
I loved seeing people who looked like me involved in something bigger than their own lives and I wanted to also be a part of something bigger than myself. I knew I would grow and serve in purpose.
