<v Speaker 1>Genesis gooldira dot com. And I am excited to visit

7
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>right now with Katie Johnson from Miss Amazing. And you

8
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>have a big thing coming up next month, don't you, Katie?

9
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, So we have our Amplify event in January.

10
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 2>And Amplify is an advocacy program that really advocates or

11
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 2>rather teaches girls and women with disabilities how to advocate

12
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 2>for themselves and just a supportive, empowering environment.

13
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 1>And I'm looking at the website Miss Amazing dot org

14
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 1>and there's a South Dakota chapter and that's what we're

15
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about right now. The event will be happening in January,

16
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>but we're talking about it now because you still have

17
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>room for some volunteers. So if I would like to volunteer,

18
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>or if I would like to donate, there's still time

19
00:00:59.520 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 1>to do that.

20
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yep. So if we are still a couple hundred

21
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>dollars short of our goal, so we're still looking for givers,

22
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>but we're also really in the market for volunteers. Unfortunately,

23
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>or fortunately, I guess. We host our Amplifier that at

24
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Augustana University every year and usually in the spring, but

25
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>this year happens on January when all of the students

26
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>will be off campus, So usually we get a large

27
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 2>number of volunteers from the student population, but they're going

28
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 2>to be gone and gone this time, so we're still

29
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 2>looking for quite a few volunteers for our amplifierments.

30
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>If somebody would like to volunteer, what kind of things

31
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 1>would I be doing if I was a part of

32
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>the South Dakota Miss Amazing program.

33
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so our volunteers are crucial in several different ways,

34
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 2>so lots of different opportunities to be a volunteer. You

35
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 2>can be paired up with a participant and that role

36
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 2>is called a buddy, and what the buddy does is

37
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>just gets the girls kind of to you know, the

38
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 2>next next step, so following the schedule for closely, but

39
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>also just cultivating that relationship and being just a huge

40
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 2>support person for the participate during the weekend.

41
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 1>Very very nice. Now, if somebody would like to get involved.

42
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>What is the first step for them to do that.

43
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you can go to our website SB dot misamazing

44
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>dot org and then just click on the volunteer STAB

45
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>you can register there. Otherwise, we are paired up with

46
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 2>a helpline center, so there's a spot on the helpline

47
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>center website to kind of be a volunteer there as well.

48
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 2>You can also email me at SB dot misamazing dot org.

49
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Very nice and if somebody would like to volunteer, I

50
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>encourage you to do this right away, get signed up

51
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>right away because at first of all, we'll take the

52
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 1>pressure off Katie a little bit because you'll go, hey,

53
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 1>we have people, which is nice. But also it'll be

54
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>a good way for you to get it on your

55
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 1>schedule and make sure that you're able to be there.

56
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 1>What is the date of the event again in Soux Falls.

57
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so two different days. You can sign up to

58
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>do one or both days, So Saturday January eleventh or

<v Speaker 2>Sunday January twelve, and.

60
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Both days you need volunteer. So if I can help

61
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>both days, that's great, but if I can only help one, that'll.

62
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Still work absolutely absolutely.

63
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>And again, if you'd like to know more, Misamazing dot

64
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.000

71
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>a great program. How long have you been involved in this, Katie?

72
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I let's see. I think we're going on

73
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>seven years now. So I started here. I took over

74
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 2>as the chapter director in when I was in college,

75
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>So seven years I believe.

76
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Thank you for your involvement, and thank

77

<v Speaker 1>I think this is a great program. And if people

79
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 1>would like to maybe just come and be a spectator,

80
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:49.240

81
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Absolutely So we're still finalizing our schedule, but I
