LOT318 (Loving Others In Truth)
Gericho spent two years with LOT318 when he was fulfilling his internship obligations to obtain his Masters Degree in Social Work from 2020-2021.
“I fell in love with LOT318’s purpose in building the community and empowering youth and family. I see myself being involved a lot in the future-hopefully hold a board member position. Who knows?”
California YOuth Services
CYS serves the Orange County area by helping adolescent youth avoid substance abuse and addiction by providing school-based mental health services and seminars educating youth and their families on the dangers of substance abuse.
“ I was drawn to CYS’ mission because their approach of educating, rather than, forcing something on a kid is a new approach in the battle against drug and substance addiction.”
The Arthritis Foundation
Since 2016, Gericho has been involved with the Orange County chapter of The Arthritis Foundation. He was on the planning committee of the annual "Walk to Cure Arthritis" this past year that was held at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. He hopes to build on his involvement this year and beyond.

"I have loved ones who have suffered from Arthritis and after joining the Foundation, I found out that kids can be affected too. Hearing stories from kids who suffered from it, it encouraged me to try to help and do something. I have to! Im a youth advocate.."
Alzheimer's Association
The Alzheimer's association is another cause that Gericho is building a partnership with. He hopes that he could help the association and research organization find a cure to this disease in hopes that our elderly loved ones will not have to go through it.

"This is so close to my heart because my Grandma in the Philippines has it. My mom would go home to visit her and Inang would barely recognize or remember my mom. I hate the thought that I rarely get to see my grandmother, and that on the day that I finally visit home, she wont remember who I am..."
