Patrick founded Rise to Serve with the mission of empowering underserved youth through action-based service. As Executive Director, he leads the organization’s vision, partnerships, and volunteer leadership. As Programs Lead, Patrick personally designs and runs our core initiatives—free volleyball clinics for underprivileged youth, free community meal programs, and art-based fundraising projects that transform creativity into compassion. Through these art-based efforts, Patrick guides students to use their artistic talents as tools for advocacy. Together, they create and sell student-designed stickers and artwork, each inspired by real-world causes from youth mental health to global humanitarian issues. These projects not only raise funds for Rise to Serve’s service programs but also remind young creators that their art can move hearts, spark dialogue, and drive real change.

Supports Patrick in planning and delivering free volleyball clinics. Coordinates gym scheduling, volunteer coaches, safety protocols, and parent communications, and tracks participant progress so sessions stay accessible and skill-building for every youth. 

Supports the Monthly Meal Program end-to-end—from grocery planning and purchasing to cooking-day prep and delivery. Manages monthly routes, partner-site confirmations, volunteer sign-ups, and post-event reporting to keep meals reliable, nutritious, and responsive to community needs.
