I like to volunteer in various places to teach students about STEM careers and encourage girls to look into studying STEM careers. I also like to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity.
Why are you participating?
The world is run by labels, so I wanted to add my own labels to the project. The problem isn't in finding 3 labels that fit -- it's in limiting it to only 3 labels.

I'm a volunteer tutor. I worked with both immigrants learning English and mentally disabled high school students. It's always a joy.
Why are you participating?
I'm participating because I want people to think about the stereotypes, and how they conflict, and how the same person can have different labels. For example, I walk fast, like a New Yorker, but I'm not stereotypically aloof with strangers.

I volunteer for Andy's Attic at my school, it is a nonprofit that was made to help anyone who is in need.
Why are you participating?
I would love to support this project because it serves a great purpose. Labels are simply negative comments from others doesn't define me as a person. I would listen to their comments and see if I can change myself for the better.

Yesterday I rode my bike past a guy walking barefoot on an overpass in the city. He was walking like his feet hurt. I thought he might have gotten robbed for his shoes so I stepped and asked if he wanted a ride anywhere. I said he could ride on my crossbar. It turned out he was just walking home and didn't need help at all. At least I know.

I work as an RA on campus, and the whole reason I got into the job was to help people going through a tough time. So I spend a large amount of my free time helping people who are struggling.
Why are you participating?
I think it is a great cause.

I once found a turtle on the street, so I decided to take care of it and I brought her home.
