While overseeing the many great CSA programs, Megan particularly facilitates Loyola's delegation to the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice and other justice education programs. Megan received an M.A. and an M.S.W. from Boston College, with a focus on social justice, community organizing and policy. She holds a B.A. from the University of Notre Dame. Her own career path involved 3 terms as an AmeriCorps volunteer, where she came to appreciate the power of campuses and local communities uniting to make change. She was born and raised in South Carolina and wishes that her 8 nieces and nephews lived a little closer to Chicago.

Lilly Sabolay

Student Worker

Lilly is a third-year undergraduate student studying both Neuroscience and Psychology. She is from Southern Illinois, near St. Louis, MO, and she took part in volunteering frequently in her hometown. So, when she heard about Saturday of Service, she decided it would be the perfect opportunity to enter the volunteering community at Loyola. Thus began her involvement in CSA her freshman year, as a member of Loyola4Chicago. Having gained so much fulfillment volunteering, she decided to apply for leadership in Loyola4Chicago her sophomore year to become a bigger part of the club and volunteering that she loves. The summer before her junior year, she was presented with the honor to travel to the annual National Jesuit Student Leadership Conference (NJSLC) in Cleveland, Ohio, where she gave a workshop to other student leaders about best practices in service communities. The CSA student worker position opened yet another opportunity for Lilly to support the organization, learn the ins and outs of CSA, and gain a new level of appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work that allows volunteers to go and make a difference within the community.
