6 Colleen Sullivan I started dancing at the young age of three. Dancing helps me express my feelings through movement and song. Psychology and Dancing are my majors.

7 Lauren Sherwood I am a musician and plan on majoring in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. This career interests me because the ear is cool and communication is key. Plus, I consider myself a people person. Music has taught me that there is always room for improvement and to keep on moving forward.

10 Warm For Winter Clothes are collected in the community and on a Saturday any family with a need can go to the United Methodist Church in Prescott and try on jackets, gloves, socks, and hats to keep.

11 Warm For Winter The Yavapai College Honor's Program decided to help with this event by collecting clothes. We collected 21 very full black trash bags of clothing from students and faculty at Yavapai College. We were able to help the CCJ sort the clothes into sizes and help the families find clothes that fit them. We helped serve 364 people on the day of the event. The left over clothes were given to people who came to the CCJ's soup kitchen. Overall over 500 people were given clothes to keep them warm during the winter.

13 We were able to give Coalition for Compassion and Justice 220 toys to give to kids. Toy Drive

14 Canstruction Canstruction is a canned food drive that will take place between the 15th and the 25th, ending in a large, final event on the 27th. The Honors Program and the Yavapai College faculty collaborated with the Coalition for Compassion and Justice to help make this event a success. We realize that the food bank usually doesn't receive donations throughout the year beyond the holiday season, and so we found it important to remind the community that helping the less fortunate should be a year round effort.

15 Clubs for Students in the Community The honors program has partnered up with local high schools and middle schools to create clubs that can help students become great leaders and at the same time helping the community. Peer Assistant Leadership (PAL) Teens Taking Action (TTA) Girl Talk
