Hentz is a member of Kids with Dreams on Stanford’s campus, which partners a Stanford student with a child with a disability. Kids with Dreams is an organization of Stanford students dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with special needs. Through its weekly programs, the organization networks Stanford volunteers with community organizations to connect them with children and young adults with special needs. Through fun activities, both volunteers and kids get to have a blast while building skills and meaningful friendships.

Hentz also read to kids and helped promote literacy at A, B, Trees.
