When St. Anne’s-Belfield School senior Madi Glaser began a three-week internship with The Haven, a multi-resource day center in downtown Charlottesville, she had no idea that it would lead to the creation of her own community resource.
“There are endless organizations, opportunities, and people involved in community service in Charlottesville. I didn’t realize until this internship how easy it was to connect with them,” Glaser said. “There are just so many, and there’s not one place you can go to find all of them. That’s the reason I did my Instagram, Aware & Act. With more awareness the closer the Charlottesville community can come together and work as a team.”
Launched in December, Aware & Act (@awareandact) is Glaser’s Instagram account dedicated to highlighting service opportunities throughout the area. She joins Wendy to talk about how this all came to be.
