Matthew Rivera, a third-year student at Trinity College, focuses on community service that builds bridges from the campus to the city of Hartford, Connecticut. As Co-President of the Men of Color Alliance (MOCA), Matthew took part in the third annual "Welcome Back" tour that brought together 75 men of color to welcome Hartford students back to their first day of school. MOCA also joined members of the Union Baptist Church Breakfast Ministry to cook and serve meals to the community. Matthew works as an ambassador for Lime bike share, which enables city residents (including Trinity students) to rent a bicycle at one dollar per ride. His passion is the Dreams Empower organization, which operates the "Ice Cream for a Dream" truck that inspires young people to pursue their goals. During his time at Trinity, Matthew has discovered how his definition of leadership changed. "When I first took on a leadership role, I thought that getting work done was my top priority. But now I realize that a true leader cultivates a culture of change, and teaches others the importance of being involved."
