Meet Our Presidents!

 Get to know our 2025-26 Presidents: Margee Baby and Maeli Finn!

1. What is your favorite activity we do in SSB?

Margee: I

love that everyone on the board is so involved and works so hard. My favorite activity is to give out the grit awards to our super gritty board members!

Maeli: I love making the daily slideshow and coming up with the question of the day!

2. Why did you want to join SSB or run for president?

Margee: SSB has had a huge impact on my high school experience. The service that we do has played a big role in shaping my values. I wanted to run for president so that I can give back to the board by creating a fun and welcoming environment that everyone wants to get involved in!

Maeli: I wanted to run for president because volunteering through Social Service has made a huge impact on my life and I felt confident in my ability to help others feel excited to participate and find value in the work that we do. 

3. What club are you a co-head of and what is your favorite part about going to your club every week?

Margee: I lead Madonna Mission! My favorite part about it is all the friendships I have formed with the kids I tutor. Seeing them is the highlight of my week!

Maeli: Sophomore year I led Northside Tutoring, junior year I led Centro Romero, and this year I lead McGaw YMCA. At McGaw, we help run their Tuesday STEM program and I’m planning to major in Biochemistry so I love teaching kids about science and getting them excited!

4. What is a fun fact about you that no one knows?

Margee: My last name has an accent over it (Bâby) and is pronounced Bobby.

Maeli: I was born in China and my name means beautiful in Mandarin!

Centro Romero

 Welcome to Centro Romero! We meet at the white busses on Wednesday every week. We leave NT at around 3:45 and get back at around 6:00. Centro Romero is an amazing tutoring center where we help tutor and play games with kids in elementary-middle school. Many of the kids come from Spanish speaking families so it is a great way to put any Spanish knowledge to use.

Leaders: Molly Corr, Jane Curtis, and Manya! 

N. Chicago Community

 Welcome to North Shore Community Partners. We are a volunteer group that meets every Wednesday directly after school at the flag pole. We will leave by 3:45 so please be on time and expect to be home by 6. The location of our service site is in Lake Bluff and transportation will be provided to and from the school via white shuttle buses.  At the site, we help tutor underprivileged kids in basic subjects. The content we will be teaching is fairly easy, so any level of experience is sufficient. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to help out a community in need.

Leaders: Sophia L, Sydney K., Ella P. ! 

Inspire Youth Tutoring

 Inspired Youth Tutoring is a service club focused on tutoring and playing with kids at a center on the North Side of Chicago. We meet Tuesdays after school by the white buses from around 3:30-6! If you have any questions please feel free to contact the club heads: 20280767@student.nths.net, 20280698@student.nths.net, 20280139@student.nths.net, or the club sponsor Diego Arias-Arellano at ariasd@newtrier.k12.il.us.

Arbor Terrace

 Welcome to Arbor Terrace! We meet at the outdoor track by the white buses after school on Tuesdays. We usually leave New Trier at 3:45 and are back around 5:30. Arbor Terrace is a nursing home in Glenview, where volunteers play games and provide company for the senior citizen residents. Volunteering at Arbor Terrace provides the opportunity to grow relationships with people that volunteers otherwise would not have.
