Let’s put our hands together for Analuna Brambila, our Jefferson Award winner for the month of January. Analuna has been a volunteer at Summer of Service (S.O.S) for the last five years. S.O.S. is a camp designed to get middle school students involved in service activities. Analuna began as a member in the 6th grade, and now she is a leader within the program. She and her devoted colleagues arrived bright and early at 8 AM to enthusiastically start their service. The “hodgepodge” of service opportunities included volunteering at homeless shelters, elderly homes, water quality testing, and a variety of other service activities. Today, as a leader, Analuna is captivated by how excited the kids are to perform volunteer activities and how easily they fall in love with service. Her service is particularly effective by providing service opportunities for middle school students, which are usually difficult to come by. Being exposed to service at a young age, encouraged Analuna to become active in her community and continue through high school.
