Volunteer Quotes

 

  • “This is my first year to volunteer and even though I admit I was a little apprehensive about talking in front of a group of 3rd graders, I am enjoying it very much. At first, I thought ‘What have I gotten myself in to?’ especially with our department being so busy right now.  But, the teacher and I planned out a schedule and it has worked wonderful.  The students and teachers alike have been so receptive and enjoy my visits and I also look forward to them. I feel this is a great organization and program to offer the kids.” – Volunteer teaching 3rd grade, Utica Elementary.
