Volunteer Testimonials
Joe, a volunteer with Waypoint's Domestic Violence Victims Services Program, was able to use his experience from his Human Resources career to help clients. "In my career, I sought work that I felt was important and meaningful. I feel the same about my volunteer experience at Waypoint. I may be retired, but what I do at Waypoint is fulfilling, and I believe I can make a difference in the lives of the clients they serve."
Sheena, a volunteer with Waypoint's Housing and Homeless Services, truly enjoys getting to know staff and clients. "Volunteering at Waypoint has been a fantastic experience. Not only have I learned a lot about the programs available in the area, but more importantly, I have had the opportunity to meet some incredible individuals, both staff and clients. They have made my time here a wonderful experience."
Shanae, a student at Kirkwood Community College, decided to intern with Waypoint's Resource Development & Marketing Team in order to get real world experience before graduation. "I chose Waypoint over other local nonprofits because I love all the ways they support the community through all the different services, programs, and assistance that they offer. I personally care and relate to Waypoint's mission of inspiring people to move forward; this has been a piece of my personal mission statement for years. I want to make a difference with my life, and Waypoint has given me the opportunity to start making an impact in our community."
