Addison actively welcomes newcomers by encouraging volunteerism as a way to connect. Many expand their involvement into the Citizen Academy, serving on boards, or running for Town Council.

In 2009, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) partnered with her to recruit volunteers for CCM. Since April 2009, 22 RSVP volunteers at CCM have served 2,462 hours providing computer training to seniors.

Ms. Aaltonen worked with at-risk youth at two Title I elementary schools; taught with the Urban Animal Science program at Pecan Springs Elementary school; spear-headed the Junior Master Gardener program planting six school gardens and teaching nutrition education at Norman Elementary School. Ms. Aaltonen states that âwhile in the classroomâ¯curiosityâ¯comes easily to some children, outside it comes alive for most. In the garden they become empowered to grow their own food, they become more observant and inquisitive, and they gain an excitement about eating their harvest and continuing to grow food at home with their families.”</p> </div>

Micah conceived a community service project â a toy drive â that today stands as the largest single toy donation for the hospital. In total, more than 25,000 toys have been collected over the last six years, and 2016 was the best year ever with over 10,000 toys donated.

A complete remodeling and restructuring of the Food Panty was required to make the area more âretail-friendly.â To ensure the successful implementation of these new programs, Katie oversaw the training of over 200 volunteers.</p> </div> 4845 </div> 4846 </div> 4847 </div> 4848 </div> 4849 </section> 4850 </div> 4851 <div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="15637" class="elementor elementor-15637 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"entrance_animation":"fadeIn","exit_animation":"fadeIn","entrance_animation_duration":{"unit":"px","size":"1","sizes":[]},"open_selector":"a[href=\"#gva36-noble\"]","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"> 4852 <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3281ca75 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default" data-id="3281ca75" data-element_type="section" data-e-type="section" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 4853 <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no"> 4854 <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2bd0364d" data-id="2bd0364d" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 4855 <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> 4856 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-5d4d6188 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="5d4d6188" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> 4857 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 4858 <div class="elementor-spacer"> 4859 <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> 4860 </div> 4861 </div> 4862 </div> 4863 </div> 4864 </div> 4865 <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1757db5b" data-id="1757db5b" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 4866 <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> 4867 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-41df8000 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="41df8000" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-settings="{"_animation":"fadeIn","_animation_delay":"200","_animation_mobile":"fadeIn"}" data-widget_type="heading.default"> 4868 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 4869 <h3 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Noble Charities Foundation</h3>

Upon learning about budget cuts in their school district, Annie and Shirley also started summer math camps and workshops in 2019 that helped more than 90 fourth- through sixth-graders prepare for their standardized tests.</p> </div> 5439 </div> 5440 </div> 5441 </div> 5442 </div> 5443 </section> 5444 </div> 5445 <div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="15567" class="elementor elementor-15567 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"entrance_animation":"fadeIn","exit_animation":"fadeIn","entrance_animation_duration":{"unit":"px","size":"1","sizes":[]},"open_selector":"a[href=\"#gva37-gilliland\"]","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"> 5446 <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3281ca75 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default" data-id="3281ca75" data-element_type="section" data-e-type="section" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 5447 <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no"> 5448 <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2bd0364d" data-id="2bd0364d" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 5449 <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> 5450 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-5d4d6188 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="5d4d6188" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> 5451 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 5452 <div class="elementor-spacer"> 5453 <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> 5454 </div> 5455 </div> 5456 </div> 5457 </div> 5458 </div> 5459 <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1757db5b" data-id="1757db5b" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 5460 <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> 5461 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-41df8000 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="41df8000" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-settings="{"_animation":"fadeIn","_animation_delay":"200","_animation_mobile":"fadeIn"}" data-widget_type="heading.default"> 5462 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 5463 <h3 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Bill Gilliland</h3>

In the midst of disaster, Nuria worked systematically to compile and share resources and outreach to disproportionately affected families. Responding to the urgent need for sustained food assistance, Nuria raised emergency funds to deliver grocery gift cards, and she partnered with the San Antonio Food Bank and the local school district to host a Mobile Food Pantry at her campus.

At age 10, she decided to add a commitment to the environment to her already full plate of Girl Scout, church and military youth activities. Sarah became a founding member of Discover Green â Environmental Leaders, Inc., a youth operated 501c3 using youth and family activities to educate, involve, and inspire environmental stewardship. In 2011, not long after her 13th birthday, Sarah took on the role of Youth Director for the organization. When Sarah realized that founding members were going to age-out and the next generation of environmental stewards needed to be trained, she launched a structured training program for âecoinspirationâ coaches for the youth leaders she was recruiting. She developed a pre/post training assessment and tracking tool to measure success and needed refinements in an effort to ensure ongoing improvement. In 2012, Sarah trained fifty new eco-inspiration coaches, will train another twenty in 2013 with a goal of at least twenty new coaches each year in the future. Under her guidance, coaches have started their own projects and even their own chapters throughout Texas and 3 other states. Sarah is a Parks and Recreation Commissioner for the City of Pflugerville, a 4-H club officer, and a Lower Colorado River Authority Water Quality Monitor. Sarahâs volunteer efforts have created a solid foundation for developing lifelong leadership skills.</p> </div> 6330 </div> 6331 </div> 6332 </div> 6333 </div> 6334 </section> 6335 </div> 6336 <div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="15967" class="elementor elementor-15967 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"entrance_animation":"fadeIn","exit_animation":"fadeIn","entrance_animation_duration":{"unit":"px","size":"1","sizes":[]},"open_selector":"a[href=\"#gva30-foodonthemove\"]","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"> 6337 <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3281ca75 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default" data-id="3281ca75" data-element_type="section" data-e-type="section" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 6338 <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no"> 6339 <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2bd0364d" data-id="2bd0364d" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 6340 <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> 6341 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-5d4d6188 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="5d4d6188" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> 6342 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 6343 <div class="elementor-spacer"> 6344 <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> 6345 </div> 6346 </div>

Through this program they deliver daily food to over 15,000 children who are not enrolled or involved in any organized summer program. Meeting the truck at each site is a mobile team of CitySquare AmeriCorps members. Teams arrive on site fifteen minutes before the mobile food truck to prepare the site and to round up the children. Once the truck arrives,  AmeriCorps members assist with food distribution, and as children finish eating, engage them in a minimum of sixty minutes of recreational activity based on the Playworks model. According to Matthew Smith, Manager, Food for Good at PepsiCo, âCitySquareâs Food on the Move program has proven to be a national best practice for delivering meals to previously un-reached childrenâ¦The result has been a critical balance of addressing immediate nutritional needs while equipping the children to lead healthy lives. And, maybe most importantly, CitySquare is providing hundreds of jobs through AmeriCorps for young leaders (often from the neighborhoods they serve) to be role models for the children, showing first-hand that it is possible to break the cycle of poverty.â </p> </div> 6363 </div> 6364 </div> 6365 </div> 6366 </div> 6367 </section> 6368 </div> 6369 <div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="15966" class="elementor elementor-15966 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"entrance_animation":"fadeIn","exit_animation":"fadeIn","entrance_animation_duration":{"unit":"px","size":"1","sizes":[]},"open_selector":"a[href=\"#gva30-burnett\"]","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"> 6370 <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3281ca75 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default" data-id="3281ca75" data-element_type="section" data-e-type="section" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 6371 <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no"> 6372 <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2bd0364d" data-id="2bd0364d" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 6373 <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> 6374 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-5d4d6188 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="5d4d6188" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> 6375 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 6376 <div class="elementor-spacer"> 6377 <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> 6378 </div> 6379 </div>

Lew was named âVolunteer of the Yearâ by Faith in Action and received an Air Force Volunteer Excellence Award from the military. He was inducted into the Concho Valley Senior Hall Of Fame during Older Americanâs Month in 2010. He also was recognized by Concho Valley RSVP as the Humana MarketPoint Honoree in 2011 for Outstanding Volunteer Service Supporting Independent Living for the Elderly. RSVP and Faith in Action have conducted surveys with FIA care recipients, and almost 100% of the respondents reported they were satisfied with the services received from FIA volunteers and that this service was instrumental in keeping them living independently in their own homes. Lew has spearheaded fundraising for FIA which helps support over seventy trained volunteers who provide more than 2,600 units of transportation service to help FIA clients lead more productive lives each year. This is in addition to other services provided by FIA. Lew sums it up by saying, âFaith in Action has become a full-time calling. I enjoy working with other volunteers who provide special kinds of ministry to the frail and elderly.â  </p> </div> 6396 </div> 6397 </div> 6398 </div> 6399 </div> 6400 </section> 6401 </div> 6402 <div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="15965" class="elementor elementor-15965 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"entrance_animation":"fadeIn","exit_animation":"fadeIn","entrance_animation_duration":{"unit":"px","size":"1","sizes":[]},"open_selector":"a[href=\"#gva30-siegle\"]","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"> 6403 <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3281ca75 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default" data-id="3281ca75" data-element_type="section" data-e-type="section" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 6404 <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no"> 6405 <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2bd0364d" data-id="2bd0364d" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 6406 <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> 6407 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-5d4d6188 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="5d4d6188" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> 6408 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 6409 <div class="elementor-spacer"> 6410 <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> 6411 </div> 6412 </div>

As a VISTA member, Annalisa is helping VOATX develop and implement a volunteer management program in the Fort Worth region. The goal of the program is to provide senior and developmentally disabled clients with volunteer companions; to provide mentors to clients recovering from substance abuse; and to provide role models to ex-offenders re-entering the community. Annalisa has helped assess program and community needs, developed volunteer program policies and practices, recruited and placed volunteers, tracked volunteer hours, solicited donations for the program through service projects, and evaluated the effectiveness of the program. During her time as a VISTA she has helped establish partnerships with organizations such as: Take Up Thy Cross Ministries, Carroll Independent School District, Keep Fort Worth Beautiful, Literacy Instruction for Texas, Collin County Community College, Lowes Heroes, and CWS Apartments Property Management Company. Over 100 volunteers have been coordinated by Annalisa to work on group projects including the Lowes Heroes Project and the 9/11 service project, both of which received thousands of dollars in materials and financial support. Annalisa and other VISTAs at VOATX ensure that programs are tracking and reporting their volunteer activities on a monthly basis. Over time, VOATX was able to report an 11 percent increase in volunteer hours and an increase in the number of older adults and individuals with disabilities having increased social ties or perceived social support. </p> </div> 6429 </div> 6430 </div> 6431 </div> 6432 </div> 6433 </section> 6434 </div> 6435 <div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="15964" class="elementor elementor-15964 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"entrance_animation":"fadeIn","exit_animation":"fadeIn","entrance_animation_duration":{"unit":"px","size":"1","sizes":[]},"open_selector":"a[href=\"#gva30-gabler\"]","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"> 6436 <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3281ca75 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-content-mid

Since 1995, Dan McClellan has been a member of the Child Fatality Review Team, a collaboration brought about through the Center for Child Protection. The CFRT is a multidisciplinary group consisting of law enforcement officials, medical professionals, social workers, prosecutors, and child advocacy professionals working together toward a single goal: to prevent the senseless and needless deaths of children in Travis County. In the early years Dan volunteered to collect records and data from the Medical Examinerâs Office and the Department of Human Services as well as compiling and comparing the collected data which led to the creation of the CFRT Report in 1997. The report notes n
6494ot only how many children died, but why they died, and what the community might do to prevent those deaths. Each April, using the data from the CFRT Report, the Center holds a conference to honor the children who have lost their lives, and to alert the community about how to keep children safe. Dan is known as humble, quiet and selfless, knowing that his work will never receive a thank you from a child saved. Our communityâs children are safer because of his commitment and lifetime of achievement.</p> </div> 6495 </div> 6496 </div> 6497 </div> 6498 </div> 6499 </section> 6500 </div> 6501 <div data-elementor-type="popup" data-elementor-id="15933" class="elementor elementor-15933 elementor-location-popup" data-elementor-settings="{"entrance_animation":"fadeIn","exit_animation":"fadeIn","entrance_animation_duration":{"unit":"px","size":"1","sizes":[]},"open_selector":"a[href=\"#gva31-cole\"]","a11y_navigation":"yes","triggers":[],"timing":[]}" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"> 6502 <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3281ca75 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-content-middle elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default" data-id="3281ca75" data-element_type="section" data-e-type="section" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 6503 <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no"> 6504 <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2bd0364d" data-id="2bd0364d" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 6505 <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> 6506 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-5d4d6188 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="5d4d6188" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> 6507 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 6508 <div class="elementor-spacer"> 6509 <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> 6510 </div> 6511 </div> 6512 </div> 6513 </div> 6514 </div> 6515 <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1757db5b" data-id="1757db5b" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> 6516 <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> 6517 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-41df8000 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="41df8000" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-settings="{"_animation":"fadeIn","_animation_delay":"200","_animation_mobile":"fadeIn"}" data-widget_type="heading.default"> 6518 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 6519 <h3 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Oscar Cole</h3> </div> 6520 </div> 6521 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-64c4c95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="64c4c95" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> 6522 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 6523 <h5 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Senior Corps Community Impact Award</h5> </div> 6524 </div> 6525 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-2ca7326f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="2ca7326f" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> 6526 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 6527 <p>For 21 years, Oscar Cole, âGrandpaâ, has been volunteering his time as a Senior Corps Foster Grandparent with the youth at Boys Haven, Inc. which serves boys ages 5 to 17.
