Annalise Song

Chief Financial Officer, Sophomore at Adlai E Stevenson High School

My name is Annalise Song and I am currently a sophomore at Adlai Stevenson High School. I began volunteering with Exodus my freshman year helping refugees learn English as a new language for them, assisting with schoolwork, and even teaching them how to play the violin! Outside of school, I am enrolled in the Music Institute of Chicago Academy and perform in violin competitions. Intermittently throughout the year, I perform at libraries and retirement centers to pursue my passions of performing music and sharing that passion and joy with others. My participation in these music programs allowed me to travel to different countries such as Portugal, Poland, Mexico and others. Because of these experiences, I have been able to succeed in my goals and stretch others as well, which in turn has enabled me to be in a position to help others.
