The Carter Leo’s Club is sponsored and run by Yesenia Torres.
“The Leo’s club is a program where young people serve as positive agents of change for their community.”
Students are encouraged to join the club so that they may help out within their community.
“You get to put smiles on people’s faces, ” Mark Islas said.
It is known that change cannot happen without one person doing something. Islas said he has learned to serve his community in many different aspects, and it not only involved himself but for others as well.
Besides helping out the community, students can earn community service hours.
Pedro Rodriguez said that one of the reasons for joining the club was to earn community service while helping out the community. It was a win-win situation: helping out his community and making hours for school.
“Besides the students getting volunteer hours, they get to serve their community, get to know what is going on in the city, and make a change in their community,” Torres said.
Being informed about what is happening within your community and city will always be a part of the Leos Club mission.
“I have achieved a better understanding with helping, and I am more social with people than before, ” Rodriguez said.
Becoming a Leo opens opportunities for students to show their leadership skills while having fun helping out in their community.
