Leah Yanez a mentor with the 2022 #GirlsRule team, Leah Yanez a mentor with the 2022 #GirlsRule team, gives us an inside peek during a December volunteer activity! "Our December Saturday challenges for @explore_austin are always unique because we get to volunteer at a local nonprofit of our choosing.
