The following information comes from Lourdes Gonzalez, a sophomore at Lassiter High School, where she’s in the band program, as well as the Lassiter-Pope-Kell Navy Junior ROTC program.
She’s also involved with the McCleskey-East Cobb Family YMCA, where she’s involved in its Leaders Club, and she’s been accepted by the YMCA of Metro Atlanta’s Global Service program for a trip to the Republic of Georgia trip next summer.
She’s asking for assistance to raise $3,000 by May 1, 2020, and has more details here about her background, the trip and the Leaders Club, which she says “has changed the way I go through life. It has taught me essential skills and techniques I need in order to look at challenges from a different perspective. I am now more confident and able to understand, compromise and give my input to any type of situation.”
