Zachary is a multiple YSA grant winner (Disney Minnie Grant & State Farm Good Neighbor Service-Learning Grant). His 2007 Global Youth Service Day project focused on raising awareness about child homelessness.

h and 60 other kids spent 24 hours living as homeless children in the parking lot of a local Toys R US, raising money to buy backpacks full of school supplies for homeless youth and educating other children and the community about this important issue.

"I like to volunteer because it makes me feel like I am making a difference, like I am a part of something bigger. Volunteering gives me a feeling that is indescribable but anyone that does volunteer work knows exactly what I mean. Once you do it and you get that feeling it drives you to want to keep on doing it. I can not imagine my life without community service being a part of it."
