Melody Schmidt, a senior at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School organized a prom dress collection for girls who couldn’t afford to buy a prom dress. She has collected more than 500 dresses and shoes to date. She has helped hundreds of girls go to the prom and also collects clothes for kids in foster care. “Other girls go to the mall, I collect prom dresses!” Schmidt says.

She has been involved with Teen Court since her freshman year and has been involved in Girl Scouts for 10 years. She would like to study psychology and then law. Her goal is to work with abused and neglected children and help them learn to stand up for their rights. Source: NextStepU; http://www.nextstepu.com/articlePage1.aspx?artId=3747
