Welcome to our blog!

The purpose of this blog is to document our time spent volunteering at Sunflower Kids. Sunflower Kids is a non-profit organization that provides visitation services to victims and high-risk individuals who have been affected by domestic violence in its many forms. 
We hope you enjoy our blog as much as we have enjoyed serving this organization! 

Meet the volunteers:
Shelby Blakeman: Shelby is a communications major here at UK. She has enjoyed the service aspect of this course & had a lot of fun serving the organization. In her free time, she enjoys drinking coffee, exploring downtown Lexington, & spending time with family!

Taylor Scott: Taylor is a chemical engineering major. Her favorite part about her experience with Sunflower Kids was learning to appreciate any form of volunteering work, no matter how small the task seemed. She loved being able to help out this amazing organization. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, watching Grey's Anatomy, and going to the gym.

Shelbi Broeking: Shelbi is double majoring in biology and English. She loves to write poetry and fiction in her free time. She is a concert addict and loves music as much as she loves tea. Sunflower Kids has been an excellent opportunity for her to learn about a different type of volunteering organization than she was used to. Overall, she has really enjoyed her CIS class this semester.

Jordyn Tipsword: Jordyn is a Psychology major and is double minoring in Spanish and Criminology. She loves watching primetime TV, running, and spending as much time as possible with her family when she visits home in Michigan. Her favorite part about volunteering with Sunflower Kids was seeing the joy-filled interaction between parents and their children on visitation day.

Hunter Stiff: Hunter is a Neuroscience major and is minoring in History at UK. His favorite part about volunteering at Sunflower Kids was feeling like he is a part of something bigger than himself, and having the opportunity to do this volunteering as a part of the course was one of his favorite things about this course. He enjoys watching and playing hockey, soccer, and basketball; spending time with his family; and hanging out with his friends.
