VOLUNTEER
Our team of volunteers provides passion and support for our mission from the heart of the community. The ability to expand access to scholarships to an ever-growing number of students is made possible by the contributions of WAS volunteers. Volunteers can support organizational needs in a variety of roles including volunteer instructor or volunteer assistant as well as assisting in the areas of photo, video, event, or administration.
