Description of the Cheshire Branch

The goal of the Cheshire area branch is to help the community become a more welcoming place,
a place that everyone can enjoy living in. Of course, we strive to be accessible to all students. That way, anyone who wants to contribute to helping the community can do so very easily. Through our service to our society, we can encourage fellow peers to join us in making the world a better place, even those who weren’t originally interested in doing so. We strive to assist people in need, particularly those who are disadvantaged economically, or those of elderly status. Although we are still just students in school, we wish to use our skills and leadership to help those in need, and at the same time increase our own experience and leadership skills.
