"CHILL" or Co-operative Hospitality In Learning and Living is a club with the design of allowing students with special needs to form relationships with students in an accepting environment. Everyone should have freinds who they can turn to, even if they are different, while most school offers a variety of clubs to support many kinds of people the special needs population is often overlooked. Our goal as a club is to teach acceptance and good social skills as well as to help those who have been ostracized to be welcomed back into society by their peers.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization that I greatly enjoy working for. I have always been close with my younger brother, and I absolutely love to work with kids. For this reason, I was interested in joining the Big Brothers Big Sisters. When it came to my attention that this organization was not available to high school students in Northern New Jersey, I worked relentlessly with the administration at my high school and with the Big Brothers Big Sisters to ensure that our students have an opportunity to be involved with this wonderful organization.

*Of the 7.1 million children who have at least one parent in jail 70% of them will in turn end up in prison themselves.
