<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Jewish club - involved since freshman year, currently treasurer in junior year</p>
<p>Hands for a Bridge (5 hours/week junior/senior year) - extremely selective student group. It's almost impossible to explain, but it's basically a student group that uses arts and communication to create dialogue between traditionally divided communities. We travel to a country where conflict and division are extremely prevelent to learn what this looks like in another country, learn, and apply our knowledge to life at home. I travelled to Northern Ireland this past year, and will serve as Alumni Director/Programming Assistant next year.</p>
<p>West Side Story Project - Seattle Police Department and the 5th Avenue Theater (big regional theater in Seattle) teamed up to create programming for the community around the themes of the classic musical West Side Story and how they apply to modern American life. I specifically worked on the Teen Advisory Council for a series of Youth Summits. I also travelled to Chicago to speak about the program to about 300 police chiefs from around the world at the Police Executives Research Foundation conference.</p>
