The Power of Volunteerism Volunteerism, at its core, embodies a spirit of selflessness and service. It is a cornerstone of the Mary Ann Young Center, driven by individuals who willingly contribute their time, skills, and resources to support all our programs and events. Dawn is MAYC’s newest volunteer who joined the team last month. Dawn retired from her research career and just knew her time would be well spent volunteering for others. All the fun activities at the Mary Ann Young Center piqued her interest. Starting out during a special holiday luncheon got her in the door, but it was due to the enthusiasm and kindness of long-time staff member Ann that kept her coming back. It was then that Dawn decided to make volunteering more consistent. Dawn was mentored by other veteran volunteers, Vern and Jeff, who showed her the ropes. They provided detailed instruction which gave her the confidence she needed. With the warm-hearted people, excellent programs, and the truly beautiful facility, it is easy to contribute to such an important community all focused on engaging and enriching the lives of our area seniors. Dawn says her experience prompts her to encourage others she meets along the way to visit the Mary Ann Young Center and get involved. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Dawn!
