opprairie.com Life & Arts the orland park prairie | March 30, 2017 | 23 Rost talks volunteering honor Meredith Dobes Freelance Reporter Providence Catholic student Grace Rost watches as a video montage honoring her service plays during Orland Park’s recent State of the Village event. Photo submitted For a high school senior, Grace Rost’s list of accomplishments reads longer than those of many adults. The Orland Park resident and Providence Catholic High School student was honored as the 2016 Youth Volunteer of the Year by the Village of Orland Park. Rost has been an honor roll student throughout high school, and carries titles of Illinois State Scholar as well as Advanced Placement Scholar. Additionally, the senior is a member of Providence’s girls soccer and cross country teams, is co-director of the Augustinian Youth Ministry, a member of Habitat for Humanity and a peer mediator. And she enjoys archery, horseback riding and CrossFit. On top of pursuing the aforementioned interests, Rost volunteers at least 100 hours each year through clubs at Providence as well as through Girl Scouts, with which she has been a member since the age of 5. In an email to The Orland Park Prairie, Rost said she devotes many hours to studying each day in order to maintain high grades. And balancing everything takes incredible time management skills. One of Rost’s most notable volunteer pursuits is the creation and ongoing leadership of a program called The Chicago Bookworm Foundation — a nonprofit that collects new and gently used books and donates them to schools, shelters and children’s centers in need. Rost said she began the foundation in 2014 for her Girl Scout Gold Award project. She received the award — which is the highest achievement possible in Girl Scouts — in the summer of 2016. “I really enjoy reading and have been fortunate to have access to an extensive public library living in Orland Park, and attending [Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School] and Providence Catholic,” Rost wrote. “I wanted to share with others the opportunity to read good books. I also seek out new teachers who are trying to build their classroom library and donate books to them.” Rost and her family also volunteer for the Big Shoulders Fund, an organization that supports Catholic schools in the inner city of Chicago, and Rost asks principals at the schools they visit if their students might benefit from donations from CBF. Rost said she is driven to so many different activities and volunteer opportunities by an enjoyment for helping others and desire to make the community better. Jennifer Williams, a moderator for Augustinian Youth Ministry at Providence, credited Rost for being organized, dependable and caring. Williams explained that, as one of five senior directors for the ministry, Rost is responsible for coordinating events, delivering food to food pantries and delivering blankets to cancer patients. “Grace also came up with her own project and took a group of students to Ronald McDonald House to bake cookies during Christmas break,” Williams said. “I received a letter from their organization stating what a great group of students we had, and how helpful it is to have students come in and bake for those families.” Rost said some of her most memorable volunteer experiences have been packaging food with Feed My Starving Children and serving meals at Daybreak Shelter in Joliet. Along the way, she was able to meet a variety of interesting people with diverse ideas and backgrounds, she said. “Holy mackerel, look at her resume,” Mayor Dan McLaughlin said. “I told her she should be about 60 years old, as she’s got a resume that is very long.” Following graduation, Rost plans to attend the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, for which she received a four-year Navy ROTC scholarship.
