Her time on student council has even influenced how she thinks about her future career. No matter what the task may be, Briggeman is always willing to lend her community a helping hand. Her favorite volunteer activities involve working and interacting with small children and people with disabilities. One of her favorite organizations to volunteer for is Grove City Buddy Ball, which creates a supportive community for children and adults with mental and physical disabilities to play baseball together and make friends.
Briggeman never fails to make time for it, clearing out her schedule every Sunday to make sure that she has time to volunteer in the Sunday school classrooms. Through her church, Briggeman was able to enjoy a trip with other church members to Ashville, Ohio , where they served local firefighters a hearty brunch and prayed with them after their community experienced immense hardship.
