Volunteer Engagement
I am a determined accounting student at the University of Kansas, and I am deeply committed to creating positive change in the communities around me. My main focus is on educational excellence, and I believe in advocating for safe, inclusive, and equitable learning environments. Throughout my academic career, I have actively participated in various leadership roles, demonstrating a natural ability to inspire and effect positive change in others. My dedication to fostering a culture of empowerment and inclusivity was inspired by Sheyvette Dinkens.
If you share my passion for education and building stronger, more vibrant communities, I encourage you to join Sheyvette's campaign today and be a part of the movement. Together, we can create a better future for all.

Makayla Cabrera
Head of Student Culture
Student Representative
Meet Ms. Cabrera, a bright and passionate recent graduate of Wyandotte High School. Her talents in art, photography, and volunteering earned her the distinguished Reason to Believe Scholarship from the Kansas City, Kansas Public School Foundation. However, Ms. Cabrera's journey to success wasn't an easy one. With the help of her advocate, Dinkens, she was able to overcome academic challenges and achieve her dreams. Though Ms. Cabrera plans to travel over the summer to explore new opportunities, she also plans to pursue a degree in General Studies at Johnson County Community College before continuing her higher education in psychology. Her story is a testament to the importance of investing in students and providing them with the tools and support they need to succeed. We believe that by supporting our campaign, you can help ensure that more students like Ms. Cabrera have access to the resources they need to achieve their goals. Your contribution will help us provide the same level of support and advocacy that Dinkens provided for Ms. Cabrera. Join us in investing in the future of our students and help them achieve their dreams.
