Amy Gunty
Amy Gunty is the first to say, "How can I help?" At the age of
10, she started serving others through social and church activities,
from baby-sitting children in the nursery during church services
to leading teen groups in painting houses, working at soup kitchens,
clothing drives, parent retreats and fund raising.
Life Teen, Inc. and St. Timothy’s Catholic Community in Mesa
credit Gunty’s vision of teens actively participating in the community
as a reflection of her “inborn ability to lead.” Her efforts include
work with St. Timothy’s Child Care Center, tutoring children, serving
at Paz de Cristo and Maggie’s Place (a house of hospitality for expectant
mothers), visiting senior communities and delivering food boxes. When
it comes to improving the life of another human being or encouraging
others to get involved in their community, anyone who has met Gunty knows
she will be the first to step up to the task and then inspire others to
join her.
