News of Alumni: JP Felmlee '22

JP Felmlee '22 was recently named “volunteer of the quarter” by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington.

 

JP, who is taking a gap year before beginning college next fall, has been volunteering with Migration and Refugee Services, tutoring Afghani refugee children in English and math. 

 

"The stories I have heard from the children have been both heartbreaking and heartwarming," JP said in an article in The Mission, Catholic Charities' publication. "It’s one thing to hear about a terrible world event in the news or online, but it hits harder when you’re told the same story by a teenager who experienced it first-hand. Being able to hear those stories takes trust, which is something I most value in our developing relationships."
