Volunteer Spotlight: Kimberly Kennedy
Posted on Monday, November 19th, 2018
Kimberly Kennedy is a student in the Police Foundations program at the Pembroke Campus. Her goal is to become a military police officer. She participates in a variety of on- and off-campus volunteer opportunities, including her involvement with the Canadian Cancer Society, the Royal Canadian Legion, the local Fun Run, and cancer runs in her community.
In 2019, Kimberly will expand her impact overseas by travelling to Kenya as part of AC Global Projects. She is looking forward to helping the ME to WE community build while learning about Kenya’s culture.
Kimberly finds inspiration in the words of Helen Keller: “The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves.”
Kimberly on what motivates her to volunteer:
“When I was a kid, I was always interested in a career that involves helping people. … Now I am a mother and want a career that helps people, gives me the chance to travel and help people around the world, but also be at home and be present in my daughter’s life. I volunteer to help others, but I also want to teach my daughter to be kind and compassionate toward everyone.”
