What it's All About
C.H.A.N.C.E. (creating hope, answering needs, changing everything) is a community service club at Green Valley High School dedicated to helping others in three ways: 1) Fundraising for Charitable/Nonprofit Organizations, 2) Volunteering, and 3) Having Fun. The idea was formed by Ashley Martinez in July of 2010 during a Volunteer Work Camp at St. Thomas More. With the help of two of her best friends, Brittany Lesperance and Rebecca Ubalde, and one of her favorite teachers, Mrs. Smith, the club was formed and had its first meeting on September 24th, 2010. Over the past three years, C.H.A.N.C.E. has shown support to four international organizations: Unicef, The Hands and Feet Project, Water.org, and Shriners Hospitals for Children as well as four national organizations: The National Parkinsons Foundation, American Cancer Society, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and the ASPCA Foundation. The purpose of C.H.A.N.C.E. is to encourage volunteering by organizing group volunteer events, to teach students about the many nonprofit/charity organizations that exist, and to inform students about all the different ways they can help their community. It is Ashley Martinez's dream that she can one day make C.H.A.N.C.E. a certified program for all U.S. high schools that brings people of every race, gender, and age together to love and care for the Earth and all of her inhabitants.
