I also volunteered for the Children of the Sun, Urban League, and multiple projects for wellness with Sentara Hospital. All during this time, I learned and developed into a leader in the community. My fraternity was the first to host the Youth Leadership Conference in Hampton Roads that is facilitated by Children of the Sun, Urban League, and local police departments to develop youths into programs and outlets that set a positive role into the community. Currently I speak on issues that affect low income communities at local, state, and national levels. I do not have a problem with good police officers. I now work on public policy and civil rights issues in the Danville, VA and Pittsylvania County, Virginia area, and other local and state government agencies. My job is to see people treated right with government and businesses. Join national political commentator and host of The Chauncey Show, Chauncey I.
