the lifeblood of Shepherd…

Monday, April 19th, 2010

I recently wrote how Saturday is kept busy by the great number of volunteers who are working to make a difference. I think of speaking to a student who was looking forward to time with their mentor. I saw the kids enjoying dinner, served by the hands of a volunteer.

I soon sat down and chatted with a business adviser on a challenge… someone who volunteers countless hours each week. As I spoke to a friend on the phone, I observed a gentleman mowing our yard… a volunteer. During a recent meeting for all staff, our phones were answered by… a volunteer.

Do you see a common goal? Maybe helping to coach our competitive jump rope team. Maybe working with a student in math, answering phones, mowing the grass, driving a truck… how do you fit in this picture? Your talent will find a home at Shepherd… come be the difference in a student’s life.
