Volunteers are essential to the success of the Park District.
What made you get into volunteering?
A chance to coach my son and his friend’s teams and be involved in the community.
Share a fun fact about yourself.
I’ve been teaching Physical Education for 16 years and I’ll be running my 5th marathon this fall in Chicago.
What’s been your favorite volunteer memory?
Hard to pick one specific moment. The best overall part of coaching is watching the kids throughout the season put in the hard work to experience success.
What’s the best advice you can give to someone who has just started volunteering at the Park District?
Remember you are there for the kids. It takes a lot of work to create schedules, answer emails, run weekly practices and set lineups each week. If you ever feel stressed about it, just take a moment to remember why you are there.
