Deja's Story

Deja Gainey is a WPU sophomore. 

"During the week of May 14-20 2017, I traveled to Birmingham, AL with the First Baptist Church of Raleigh to volunteer for a non-profit called Next Step STORM. Next Step STORM is a volunteer based disaster relief organization dedicated to rebuilding homes and giving an encouraging word to the lives of those affected by natural disasters in the Birmingham area. During the week we added a new roof on 2 houses as well as painting and adding wood stain." 









"On June 16, 2017, I traveled to NC State University to volunteer as a Junior Facilitator with the Hugh O'Brian Youth (HOBY) North Carolina East Leadership Seminar. The HOBY NC East Seminar is a 3 day leadership program for 140 high school sophomores. HOBY was established by actor Hugh O'Brian in 1958 to develop a global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to volunteerism, community development, and innovative ideas. HOBY NC East is sponsored by the Raleigh Jaycees. For more info check out www.hobynceast.org
