Meet Abi Pettis!

Abi’s journey with esp Athens began as a volunteer, and grew into an internship, a summer staff position, and friendships that will last a lifetime.💛 Here is what she had to say about her experience:

“When I first signed up to volunteer at esp, I thought I was just showing up to give back and pour into others. But after that very first day, I realized esp was pouring into me just as much. Over the past two years, this place has changed me in ways I never expected! It’s taught me about joy, love, and what it means to show up fully for people.

esp is truly extraordinary because every time I pour into others, I leave with my own cup overflowing. The experiences are intentional, the friendships are genuine, and the impact is lasting. I owe so much of who I am today to esp, and I’ll always be grateful I decided to become a small part of the whole!”
