Help Young Minds

Hello, my name is Juliette Eshleman and I am a fourth year student studying Cell Biology. I love being part of this blossoming organization as it blends my passion for science and community involvement, providing an outlet for kids to reach their full potential and become curious and excited about their learning. I believe that everyone should have equal access to educational resources, ensuring a fair opportunity to succeed in their academic journey. As President, I hope to help HYM grow and thrive this year, enabling our amazing executives and volunteers to create something special!

Hello! My name is Cindy (she/her). I will be heading into my fourth year of Pharmacology Specialization. When I'm not studying, I'm usually working, volunteering and cooking some delicious food! I first started with Help Young Minds as a Volunteer Tutor, and have really enjoyed developing meaningful connections with my tutee. I want to ensure students have an equal opportunity to succeed in their education, while also having a supportive peer to talk to. This year I will be continuing to make a difference in the young students of our community as the Volunteer Tutor Recruiter. My goals for the upcoming year include: developing the tutoring program with the team, providing accessible wellness and community resources, and creating a newsletter poster with all the statistics and progress of our organization.

Hello! My name is Sophie (they/them). I’m heading into my third year in a Women’s and Gender Studies major. I joined Help Young Minds as a tutor in my first year and am super excited for my first year on the executive team! I joined HYM because I know from experience that access to tutoring isn’t always easy, but everyone should have the access. Outside of school, you can mainly find me doing karate, working a ton, or volunteering with other organizations!

Outside of HYM I enjoy binge watching my favorite TV shows and refereeing soccer.

Hello! My name is Kesia (she/her). I will be entering my fourth year of Criminology this fall. In my spare time, I love to volunteer, read books, and go on walks and enjoy the scenery of Edmonton. I first joined HYM as a volunteer tutor, and later wanted to become more involved with HYM as an exec because I really love and support the mission this organization has. I am so proud to be part of this amazing group which provides resources that allow students to have an equal access to educational resources and help them flourish in their abilities and studies. As the Finance Director, I hope to allocate proper funds and organize efficient fundraisers, allowing our group to host events and spread the word about what we do and our mission.

Katrina is in her third year majoring in Civil Engineering with Co-op. She joined HYM because "I want to amplify the mission of the organization by showing to what extent Help Young Minds can be creative in helping the community and mostly the young generation. As a content director, I want to provide our audience and the community an innovative content that is very exciting and eye catching. I desire that HYM’s mission will continue to influence the young generation in the most creative way!" While Katrina is not organizing the next set of blogs to upload, she plays the guitar and violin and loves to sing and knit.
