(Jersey City—November 4,
2016) Makayla Blount, a High Tech Audio/Visual Production major and resident of
Jersey City, spent her summer as a volunteer at
New Way of Life Day Camp, a supervised children’s program, announced Dr. Joseph Giammarella, Principal
of High Tech High School.
Through generous donations from supporters, New Way of Life Day
Camp encourages youngsters aged
three to ten to set higher goals for their education, improve their
self-confidence, and help them shape relationships with their families and
communities. New Way of Life Day
Camp provides a productive environment to stimulate these youngsters.
While at the camp, Blount
spent a full day, five days a week, helping children learn the alphabet and enrich
their social skills in public environments.
She and fellow volunteers
impacted children and attempted to put them on the right path through activities
like daily trips to their local parks and libraries. On these trips, children interacted
positively within their community.
“I enjoy being a part
of an organization that positively influences those who will one day mend the
future,” says Blount. “I hope they’ll grow
up to give back to the community and offer others the same opportunities that
they were given.”
