City Limits <br /> Gender Identity: Male <br /> Ethnic Background: White <br /> Age Range: 18-34 <br /> Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: <br /> I am a junior sociology major at UNC. I am a member of the Teach Initiative, a group of <br /> college students who educate youth on substance use and mental health. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> n/a <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Board of Social Services <br /> Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br /> I am nearing the end of my junior year of college at UNC, where I study sociology. Outside of <br /> school, I have experience working in political campaigns, community organizing, and non-profit <br /> administration. I also interned in a state-level legislative role. Additionally, I am a member of the <br /> Teach Initiative, a coalition of students dedicated to teaching youth about substance use and <br /> mental health, with the backing of an advisory board of mental health and substance use experts. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> As a young adult in our county, I feel a sense of responsibility to help provide our community s <br /> youth with access to mental health and harm reduction resources because of the current mental <br /> health crisis and overdose epidemic. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> Applying to this board, I know my resume is not impressive, but the contribution I can provide to <br /> the board's diversity of viewpoints is. Across the country, we all have been living through a <br /> mental health crisis and overdose epidemic, but young people have been the most affected <br /> group. My hope for this position would be to combine my background as a sociology student and <br /> a young adult to provide recommendations and insight into best serving our county. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br />
