What you do as a volunteer? 

Vice Mayor of Coyote Springs

 

What you get out of volunteering? 

Gratification in seeing my community coming together as one big family.

 

How did you get started as a volunteer? 

Once moving to my community, I saw a need to do what I can to enhance my living area and bring the community together. I begin researching online and found the necessary information I needed to begin helping.

 

What advice would you give someone about volunteering? 

Do not procrastinate about it. If you see a need in the community be proactive and find out what you can do to help. The rewards in seeing a child’s face from your effort or families enjoying a day together because you were there to make it happen is overwhelming.
