A rising Sophomore at the University of Virginia, Grace spent her summer learning the ins and outs of CRi as an intern on the Philanthropy Team. Heavily involved in the implementation of the EmbRACE 5K, CRi’s foundation database-cleanup, donor recognition efforts and volunteer projects, Grace has had her hands full experiencing, first-hand, how nonprofit organizations engage with the local community.
“By being a part of the CRi family, I have learned to value independence,” she states.
“I have met incredible individuals who are all full of joy and passion. Grace tells CRi that this summer she has seen people who care so deeply about bettering the world, that she really has learned the true value in the mission. “I know that our mission matters,” says Grace, “Because it allows people to love to the fullest extent of their humanity and dignity. Everyone deserves to live an independent and safe life.”
