I began volunteering for Project Humanities’ homeless outreach when I was in eighth grade. As I prepare to graduate from high school now, four years later, I am a very active intern and will continue during my upcoming college years at Arizona State University, commencing this fall 2023. The following is the letter of interest I submitted as part of my initial application for the Project Humanities internship program in the summer of 2021. 

Homelessness is a growing problem in Arizona, with a significant increase in the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in recent years.
