Whether it be at Chaparral, one of her former schools, or with the Las Vegas Rescue Mission, Elaine Caballero could be spotted trying to grow her community.

“I took it upon myself to get involved because I wanted to help our community be a better place,” she said. “It’s important to get more Latino representation in our neighborhood.”

Caballero manages the boys volleyball team, staying long after everyone is gone to clean up the gym.

She’s the president of both the student body and the Key Club, organizing blood and clothing donation drives.

At her former elementary and middle schools, Caballero helps coordinate dances and reads to the younger students.

Caballero has also dedicated her time making sandwiches for homeless residents.
