Speaker 1: Genesis gooldira dot com. And I am excited to visit
Speaker 1: right now with Katie Johnson from Miss Amazing. And you
Speaker 1: have a big thing coming up next month, don't you, Katie?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So we have our Amplify event in January.
Speaker 2: And Amplify is an advocacy program that really advocates or
Speaker 2: rather teaches girls and women with disabilities how to advocate
Speaker 2: for themselves and just a supportive, empowering environment.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the website Miss Amazing dot org
Speaker 1: and there's a South Dakota chapter and that's what we're
Speaker 1: talking about right now. The event will be happening in January,
Speaker 1: but we're talking about it now because you still have
Speaker 1: room for some volunteers. So if I would like to volunteer,
Speaker 1: or if I would like to donate, there's still time
Speaker 1: to do that.
Speaker 2: Yes, yep. So if we are still a couple hundred
Speaker 2: dollars short of our goal, so we're still looking for givers,
Speaker 2: but we're also really in the market for volunteers. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: or fortunately, I guess. We host our Amplifier that at
Speaker 2: Augustana University every year and usually in the spring, but
Speaker 2: this year happens on January when all of the students
Speaker 2: will be off campus, So usually we get a large
Speaker 2: number of volunteers from the student population, but they're going
Speaker 2: to be gone and gone this time, so we're still
Speaker 2: looking for quite a few volunteers for our amplifierments.
Speaker 1: If somebody would like to volunteer, what kind of things
Speaker 1: would I be doing if I was a part of
Speaker 1: the South Dakota Miss Amazing program.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so our volunteers are crucial in several different ways,
Speaker 2: so lots of different opportunities to be a volunteer. You
Speaker 2: can be paired up with a participant and that role
Speaker 2: is called a buddy, and what the buddy does is
Speaker 2: just gets the girls kind of to you know, the
Speaker 2: next next step, so following the schedule for closely, but
Speaker 2: also just cultivating that relationship and being just a huge
Speaker 2: support person for the participate during the weekend.
Speaker 1: Very very nice. Now, if somebody would like to get involved.
Speaker 1: What is the first step for them to do that.
Speaker 2: Yes, you can go to our website SB dot misamazing
Speaker 2: dot org and then just click on the volunteer STAB
Speaker 2: you can register there. Otherwise, we are paired up with
Speaker 2: a helpline center, so there's a spot on the helpline
Speaker 2: center website to kind of be a volunteer there as well.
Speaker 2: You can also email me at SB dot misamazing dot org.
Speaker 1: Very nice and if somebody would like to volunteer, I
Speaker 1: encourage you to do this right away, get signed up
Speaker 1: right away because at first of all, we'll take the
Speaker 1: pressure off Katie a little bit because you'll go, hey,
Speaker 1: we have people, which is nice. But also it'll be
Speaker 1: a good way for you to get it on your
Speaker 1: schedule and make sure that you're able to be there.
Speaker 1: What is the date of the event again in Soux Falls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so two different days. You can sign up to
Speaker 2: do one or both days, So Saturday January eleventh or
Speaker 2: Sunday January twelve, and.
Speaker 1: Both days you need volunteer. So if I can help
Speaker 1: both days, that's great, but if I can only help one, that'll.
Speaker 2: Still work absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1: And again, if you'd like to know more, Misamazing dot
Speaker 1: org is the overall website, but if you go to
Speaker 1: SD dot misamazing dot org, that'll take you to the
Speaker 1: South Dakota chapter. But if you happen to be listening
Speaker 1: in a different state and you go, hey, I'd like
Speaker 1: to help, but I'm way over here in this other state,
Speaker 1: check it out. I bet they've got something like this
Speaker 1: in your area as well. And again, this is such
Speaker 1: a great program. How long have you been involved in this, Katie?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I let's see. I think we're going on
Speaker 2: seven years now. So I started here. I took over
Speaker 2: as the chapter director in when I was in college,
Speaker 2: So seven years I believe.
Speaker 1: I love that. Thank you for your involvement, and thank
Speaker 1: you for all that you do for miss Amazing. And
Speaker 1: I think this is a great program. And if people
Speaker 1: would like to maybe just come and be a spectator,
Speaker 1: can they do that as well?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely So we're still finalizing our schedule, but I
Speaker 2: believe the showtimes will be around five o'clock in the
Speaker 2: evening both days that you can find more information on
Speaker 2: our Instagram or Facebook. Both of them are SD Misamazing.
Speaker 1: Very nice, Katie, Thank you again for your time. I
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you John.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: The event is coming up next month and again there's
Speaker 1: two days. You can volunteer one day, you can volunteer
Speaker 1: the other day, or be awesome and volunteer both days.
