This year’s Kids Helping Kids (KHK)
CEO is Alexandra Euyoque. KHK is an Organization that is run by students
for students. Alexandra's job includes being a delegate, and giving
overall structure to the organization. Her goal with KHK is to make a
difference in the lives of younger students, especially those who are
more economically challenged. A big thing that Alexandra does with KHK
is tutoring at R.H Dana, which is an underfunded elementary school in
Dana Point. While here, Alexandra and her volunteers are able to tutor
and build connections with future dolphins. KHK is also a branch, or in
other words, committee to our very own ASU (Associated Student Union) at
Dana Hills. In an interview, Alexandra stated that, “ you are able to
foster a connection with a future dolphin” even if you're not part of
the KHK part of ASU. She also emphasized the fact that getting kids
excited about what you're excited about, and being able to build
connections is something innumerable in value especially at that young
age. She then expressed, “It starts at such an early level, that
excitement for high school and for life in general starts at that young
age”. Being a part of KHK is truly an inspiring notion as we can see
that Alexandra's passion is spread all among her community, and the
impact she leaves will grow and expand to the kids she works with, and
empower them to get excited for their future. You can also often spot
Alexandra and other KHk members at certain events, whether they are
running them or even just helping. With doing all this, she is able to
raise money, especially for the kids at R.H Dana. Alexandra discusses
how kids often don't have a sense of mentorship growing up, and she
wants “to make a positive impact on these kids' lives in the long term”.
