"The Let's Get Talking program is a innovative program built by the kindest group of volunteers. During my time at Let's Get Talking, I have gained presentation skills, public speaking skills, and collaboration skills. In such a short period of time, I have had the pleasure to watch Let's Get Talking expand to a fully remote program. I will no longer be involved in the Let's Get Talking program. However, I will continue my connection with this outstanding group of volunteers. I encourage all individuals that have a passion for education and community development to get involved in Let's Get Talking!"
