Sam has serviced the IE community as a phone banker during IEIYC's participation in the Covid-Community Health Project 2021, and has volunteered time as a Mentor for our Undocumented Mentorship Academy in 2022. IEIYC was also thrilled to showcase Sam's work at the 2023 UMA Photovoice Art Exhibition, as another artist among many others who used their creativity to shine a light on important issues and inspire us all to make a positive impact.

Sam is a DACA reciepient and was accepted to the Study Aborad Program with ILEAP a local Nonprofit organziation. The total program cost is $4,200 and does not include flight and other necesities.
