We are grateful to be involved in the NMCFS project. Going to a Quaker school, we have learned to center our efforts on serving our community and caring for others—so this project truly resonated with us. It was eye‑opening to discover the many different forms that service can take, and how each expression of it is equally meaningful. Hearing the interviewees’ stories and witnessing their remarkable dedication was truly inspiring.

In particular, Nina Santiago’s and Delaney Kempner’s passion for their government work, and their unwavering commitment to putting service above all else, touched us deeply. This experience has encouraged us to continue walking the path of service throughout our lives.
