About Me

How do I live united?

I read the news. Daily. I vote. I donate a couple bucks every week to places that fight to end homelessness. I organize clothing drives. I tell my friends and family about how they can change the world. I volunteer. I'm a leader in a group of young professionals who think Dayton is a GREAT place to live, work and play. I have a web site that connects people who want to volunteer to places that need volunteers. All for free. Why? BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER.

Visit my website at www.volunteerdayton.org to check out ways you can live united. We list real ways for you to volunteer in your community. Today. At the click of a mouse.

So tell me...

How do YOU live united?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet youth, adults and groups who are interested in doing something to help their communities. Whether you've never volunteered before or you participate in community service once a week, I can find a place that needs your help today.Take a minute to message me and find out what volunteering is all about.
