This is a story about a Jacob's Chance Volunteer named Gee Guda.
As a current sophomore at VCU, majoring in Biology with a pre-med track, her path toward becoming a volunteer began during her junior year of high school. She discovered Jacob’s Chance summer camps through a Google search, and couldn’t have been happier to find such a welcoming community.
Gee states, “From the moment I walked in and was greeted by Sadie and Brooke, I felt an immediate sense of belonging. That first summer, I participated in three of the four camps, and the experience truly felt like family. Returning in the fall for 3G offered a different, yet equally enriching vibe. The close-knit atmosphere allowed me to get to know everyone better, as we met weekly and forged lasting friendships”.
What began as a quest for volunteer hours has turned into a profound sense of community and belonging. Gee now understands that this organization is dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities thrive, breaking down barriers of isolation and creating meaningful connections.
