revyn Gray started out his school year at the University of Georgia volunteering at housing movein. “You will see me everywhere,” said Trevyn, a third-year education major from Americus. “I do everything. It keeps me busy.” Trevyn, an aspiring math educator, volunteered because after months at home, he was more than ready to get back to campus—and to see his friends, who were also volunteers.

Trevyn describes himself as a very Type A personality who likes to help others. “I feel like if I’m not doing anything, I’m not being productive,” he said. “I take my relaxation seriously, but I also can’t have too much of it.” He’s involved in UGA’s Black Male Leadership Society, where he serves on the executive board. Last year, he was cocommunity outreach chair. He volunteers with Young Black Kings, a program that mentors 10-12 young men at Clarke
County Middle School. Once a week, they mentor the students and teach them about professionalism, financial literacy, and character. He’s an ambassador with Georgia Daze, a minority recruitment event at UGA. He’s also just been named an ambassador for the Mary Frances Early College of Education, where he’ll give tours as well as work convocation, orientation office hours, and First Fridays and be available to talk to prospective students.
