Samuel Richard

I am a full-time student with a deep interest in the nonprofit sector, and I hope that my top-of-the-line education coupled with unparalleled passion will contribute positively to the sector.

As I finish my education, I'm working hard to engage the Downtown Phoenix community with 1) each other 2) Arizona State University and 3) local nonprofit organizations.

How can we partner?
