Hello! My name is Lindsay Arruda and I am third year student currently pursing a BS in Public Health Sciences with a minor in Environmental Science at UMass Amherst. It is my goal to raise money for a volunteer trip this summer! The volunteer trip will take place in mid-July and last 3 weeks. It is located in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Iniatives include restoration projects, enviornmental development, health education and awareness, etc.

After graduation, I hope to work alongside non-profits dedicated to community development and health eduation for communities in need. Through this volunteer opportunity, I aim to broaden my cultural understanding, expand my perspective, and build new relationships. This experience will greatly impact my education and career by providing me with invaluable hands-on experience, cross-cultural communication skills, and a deeper understanding of global issues!
