HEAR FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS

Real stories from real volunteers about the impact they've made and the connections they've built.

"Without the volunteers, this would not happen, especially with all the kids putting all the time in for their practices. So as parents, this is something we can do to give back and make sure things run smoothly for them"

David Ramirez

Head of The Cuyahoga Volunteer

Volunteering for 2 years

"I never knew anything about rowing equipment before volunteering. Now I can rig a boat! It's satisfying to know my work helps keep athletes safe and competitive."

Jennifer Thompson
