Genius Hour

Genius hour is a idea that was created to see what would happen if students are given the chance to spend an our hour doing something productive of their choice. Our teacher assigned us to this creative challenge and I jumped on the opportunity. I first had to pick an issue that I was passionate about. I took a few days to think about issues that consistently bothered me and I decided to come up with a solution that wouldn't just help me and my friends but a broader audience.

Every now and then volunteering has it's time in the lime light. Its popularity is waning. But why must we wait until it's popular or the "cool thing to do" to help people? What is stopping us from helping people who need us the most? For most people, the heart is there but they don't know what to do or where to go or who to talk to. And for all of those people, I'm here to help. I created a website called Reaching Hands to provide people with the next step in their volunteering adventure. My site gives ideas, a place to share passions and endeavors, and an inside look to my heart and how this site originated. Whether you don't know what you want to do and are desperate for ideas or you have ideas but don't know how to put it into action, Reaching Hands is for you.
