Natalie is a junior at Lake City High School and participates in the post-secondary option at Rochester Community and Technical College. She was inspired to volunteer by a family friend who had spoken highly of her own volunteer experience at Ability Building Center. Natalie has been volunteering since mid-August at Abilities Unlimited, which is an ABC program. She feels that kids are pushed into sports and part-time jobs more often than community service. She likes helping people and says, There are great organizations and programs that don t have money to hire.
Volunteers are very important.
Natalie has even been trying to recruit her grandma into volunteering. I d like to thank Natalie for offering her time and talents to our community. She s an inspiration not only to her peers, but also to us all. We'll select one winner at random from the responses we receive before 4 p.m. Sunday and post results next week.
