Community Service

Volunteers at Endicott  at the Open Door Food pantry and as a referee for Special Olympics Basketball... In high school, he volunteered at the American Red Cross, where he shadowed physical therapy technicians and assisted with rehabilitation workouts for wounded warriors.

Daquan on his community service outreach:

"Volunteering for the Red Cross meant a lot to me because I was helping out wounded warriors. Some of these civilians did not have arms or legs so it was really touching to see the warriors work out on their own."

"Volunteering for Special Olympics Basketball was an awesome experience because I worked with kids that loved playing basketball just like me. All the kids have positive attitudes  and that made me really happy because I saw how much fun that they were having while playing basketball."
