Olivia has a passion for working with kids and has volunteered as a teaching assistant at Sewickley Academy’s elementary school.

I” wanted to start a girls’ group for TCG because I know how important having a mentor at their age was for me. Having a space to go to learn life lessons, volunteer, and even go on field trips, was not just fun, but helpful in helping guide me in the right direction. Throughout my high school career, I have had the honor of working with some of the girls in our community and I see how bright and talented they are. I wanted to give these young ladies a space where they can learn how to channel their intelligence and their gifts to help lift each other up, and show them how they can be a beacon of light to the broader community.”

“My favorite thing about TCG is seeing all of the girls smiling faces! I love seeing them laughing together during the activities as they enjoy each others company. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about!”
