About Me
- Ben Robbins
- I am an adventurer on a pilgrimage to create change. My ultimate goal is to improve society, but I plan to have an impact along the way. Right now I'm in the Peace Corps serving in Ukraine as a youth developer. I did my best to serve my community at Georgia Tech and Georgia, so now I'm taking it global. Hopefully this leads me to a position in life that I get to make change on a large scale.
