Dylan Frost

St. Thomas Aquinas High School

Class of 2025

My name is Dylan Frost. I am a sophomore at St Thomas Acquinas High School. I was born in Boca Raton and have lived in Florida my whole life. My family consists of my mom and dad and my 10 year old sister Emerson.

I consider myself to be motivated in school and someone who works hard and goal oriented. I love all sports and follow the NBA, NFL, NHL, and PGA and know teams, players, and stats. The sport I excel at the most is golf. I made my high school golf team at St Thomas both my freshman and sophomore years and have worked hard to hone my skills. I also enjoy playing video games and play in between school, sports, and my extra curricular activities. I hope to one day get accepted into a good college which is why I work so hard to get good grades, participate in school activities and clubs, and am involved in my community. I have not decided what type of career I would like but I know I want to help people and make an impact on the world and be a positive role model for my little sister and make my parents proud.

I am interested in participating in the business program of LI because I have always had an interest in owning my own business. My dad also owns his own business and has inspired me to want to follow in his footsteps.

Sub-Saharan Africa has experienced some of the highest growth rates globally over the past 10 years. While this means that people in these nations have become more optimistic about their social and economic future, the region continues to face a myriad of historical problems. In order to continue steady growth and achieve a future of equitable conditions in the region, our International Internship Program team seeks to build stronger communities from the grassroots level through fundraising for community development.

Funds raised are used to implement community-based education programs, pay staff to run the operations on-site, and invest in training for local leaders. Leadership Initiatives uses fundraised money to develop a network of support for actionable change and accountability between our team, the Leadership Initiatives staff, and the community stakeholders we work with.
