She currently leads Pilot Light’s program evaluation procedures, and aids in program implementation and administration. Coming to Chicago from Texas, she has worked with students in grades 6-12 in after-school education and college prep programming on the Southeast side of Austin, as well as worked in a Texas-based grocery store chain for years. Paulina values people first and is committed to collaborating with diverse community members to build an equitable, sustainable food future for all. Phoenix Farms is UChicago&#x27;s premier beekeeping and urban farming RSO. We keep bees and grow food for ourselves and others across the South Side. We also regularly volunteer at local community gardens in need of cleanup. Our primary goal as an RSO is to educate the student body and surrounding population on urban gardening and beekeeping practices.About Feature Fridays:The University Community Service Center (UCSC) is pleased to present Feature Fridays, a series of conversations between community partners and students about Chicago, civic engagement, and social change. Each quarter, UCSC will select a distinct social challenge and invite those leading efforts to address that challenge in our communities through various sectors to join UChicago student leaders in panel-style discussions.
