Quote: I truly appreciate you and the EDRC for giving me the incredible opportunity to run the writing contest campaign for the past 2 years. Volunteering at the EDRC has been highly enriching to my personal development and leadership skills. I will definitely apply the lessons I learned at the EDRC in the future, and continue being an advocate for mental health for my entire life. The EDRC helped me reach my fullest potential and has opened many doors in advocacy work. I grew my passion for mental health so much at the EDRC. I appreciate every volunteer, student, and community member I was able to interact with through my experience.
