Email: kamryn.lyle25@uga.edu Fourth Year, International Affairs Major and French Minor How did I get involved with IMPACT? I was warmly welcomed to the IMPACT family my sophomore year of college as a participant on the Youth Access and Advocacy trip in Clinton, SC. During the trip, we had the opportunity to serve alongside different organizations to address the needs of the community. The experience was so great, in fact, that I applied for and co-led the Shelter and Resource Access trip to the New River Valley the following year! For my final year with IMPACT and at UGA, I’m more than excited to lead with my wonderful co-site leader the Human Trafficking Awareness and Advocacy trip to Birmingham, AL. As human trafficking becomes more prevalent in the United States, I’m interested to learn with everyone how this issue can affect individual communities. This trip will give us the opportunity to not only learn about the depth of the issue, but serve alongside members of the Birmingham community who work hard to make a sustainable difference for trafficking victims. Fun fact: My favorite color, scent, and flower are all lavender! |

Email: 21sum14@uga.edu Fourth Year Biological Engineering Major How did I get involved with IMPACT? On the spring break of my sophomore year, I had the pleasure of being a participant on the Human Trafficking Awareness and Advocacy Trip in Birmingham, AL. This trip revamped my love for service and the other aspects that IMPACT stands for. It was one the best spring break experiences I could ask for, and I knew I had to do more service learning trips like these. The following year, I was a participant on the Disability and Ability Awareness and Advocacy trip in Philadelphia, PA. Through these trips I’ve become significantly more aware of the various social justice issues that exist in our communities and I’m beyond thrilled to take the next step as a site leader for this year’s Human Trafficking Awareness and Advocacy trip in Birmingham, AL. I am looking forward to furthering the education and knowledge of the opportunities to address this issue for myself and all others on this trip. I hope that our trip will inspire the members of the Birmingham community and our UGA participants to continue service to benefit the survivors of human trafficking and other preventative efforts.
