SociGraff is a twofold project designed for urban youth, combining community contribution and artistic expression. The project should take place over the course of one academic year through weekly after school meetings, and is intended for about 20 students in their junior year of high school. By combining two seemingly unrelated forms of community involvement: legal and artistic, SociGraff will teach students teamwork and empower them with the self-esteem that they can make lasting differences in their communities.

Hill Country Starling's Volleyball Club.
Finally an alternative to the expensive "Club" volleyball system. I have been fortunate to have parents who could afford to pay the thousands of dollars that it cost to play competitive volleyball. Unfortunately I have seen hundreds of girls less fortunate than myself.
Judging by their raw athletic ability, I have no doubt that many of these girls could have become impact players and possibly earned college scholarships.

Hang TYMERS (Teaching Youth Math Enrichment and Reading after School) is an after school program for at-risk children created by college volunteers from the University of Alabama. The program focuses on reading and mathematical mastery through one-on-one mentoring. In the beginning, sixth grade students are paired with a college mentor. This mentor serves as a role model, teacher, and friend.
