Rosemont Ridge Middle School Eighth-Grader Symond Boschetto has spent nearly half of his young life giving back to his comunity through his nonprofit, Share Hope USA. Aimed primarily at providing resources for the houseless, Symond ramped up his efforts during the pandemic, dedicating even more of his time and effort to giving back. 

Among his many efforts, Symond organiazed a Play-Doh drive at school to collect as many Play-Doh containers as possible to benefit patients at Portland's Doernbecher Children's Hospital. In the six-plus years of running his nonprofit, Symond has also provided food, hygiene products, blankets, and oother necessities to more than 10,000 people. And, with the help of his family, he continues to grow his operation to help more and more people. 

Symond was named Pamplin Media's 2021 'Amazing Kid' for his many efforts. Congratulations, Symond! Read more about Symond's contributions to the community in Pamplin Media's 'Amazing Kids' Special Publication.
