Join us as Joel Bervell, co-founder and chief organizing officer of 'Hugs for' talks about the non-profit organization dedicated to empowering the next generation of future global leaders.  Throughout the year, high school members of 'Hugs for' conduct local community service projects, fundraisers, and item donation drives (such as stuffed animal, school supply, and sports equipment drives). Over spring break, students travel to countries like Ghana, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Kenya to hand-deliver collected material donations to children in schools, orphanages and hospitals. Hugs for's mission is to break down the barrier that often exists in giving to global communities and to encourage students to recognize the needs of communities locally and abroad at a crucial age.
