Katy Harding

Realizing how fortunate she was in receiving constant support during her upbringing and schooling, Katy desired to give to others some of the good fortune she felt she had for herself. “It has become a constant goal of mine to make myself available to others and offer to assist those around me in need.” To that end, Katy founded a peer-led tutoring program to provide support to other students who might not have had it otherwise, resulting in a well-respected program that has helped Katy’s personal growth as well as other students’ academic growth. A sampling of Katy’s other volunteering activities involved helping beautify inner city areas, participating in canned food drives, being a teacher’s assistant, caring for the homeless, and caring for the elderly.
