If you've ever been overwhelmed with the idea of volunteering and
figuring out how to get connected, this week WOA sheds some light
on the topic! Special guests from the Workman Group, Eric and Katie
Workman, share their perspectives on volunteering and why it's so
important to the community. Eric and Katie are excellent examples
of committing to helping their community, having volunteered with
Waves in the past and continuing to set aside time for Waves. We
also welcome John Lynch, aka Johnny Sunshine, onto the podcast to
share what volunteering means to him. Eric and Katie have
personally volunteered at John's home a part of Waves'
Semi-Independent Living Program, helping John and his roommate
William wherever assistance is needed. Eric and Katie speak on how
volunteering keeps them connected with their community and allows
them to actively support others without expecting anything in
return. When it comes to giving back, Eric and Katie share that it
doesn't have to mean giving money- giving any time at all to help
those in need of support makes an amazing impact on the community.
Listen in to Eric and Katie share amazing stories and John share
some life updates of his own!
