Nathan comes from central Illinois, near Illinois State University, where they grew up in a small village surrounded by corn fields. What piqued their interest in coming to Chicago was a need for a change of scenery as well as wanting to give back to an underserved community. Nathan loves the culture here at HOPES and their favorite part of volunteering is how it’s a new experience every single day. Nathan will have the opportunity to work directly at our sites daily, support program efforts such as parent programming workshops and field trips as well as outreach efforts.
During their service term, Nathan is most excited to interact positively with our students and families. They see this as an opportunity to have a rewarding experience of empowering their lives daily. Nathan believes all children have the potential for greatness and wants to help them grow into strong independent individuals. Despite the challenges our students and families face, they look forward to seeing their smiling faces and watching them succeed.
In their spare time, Nathan enjoys thrift shopping and karaoke. We are so excited to have Nathan part of the team and can’t wait to see all they will accomplish!
