VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Giving back to the community that raised him.

"I volunteer because I want to give back to the community that raised me. I believe the grass is greener where you water it, and I want the Cedar Valley, especially my hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, to truly thrive. That’s why I choose to volunteer with the SHIPHT summer program. Over the last four years, I’ve seen firsthand the impact it has on this community and the broader opportunities it creates for our youth."
