💛 Volunteer Appreciation Month: More Stories from New Horizons
April is National Volunteer Month, and we’re excited to share more stories of the incredible volunteers who make a difference in the lives of our super students. Their time, dedication, and heart inspire confidence, curiosity, and growth every day.
Randy brings an incredible spark to the Estero Super Teens Club—the kind of passion that inspires students to believe in themselves and push a little further every day. His generosity shows up not only in the time he gives, but in the way he listens, encourages, and celebrates each teen’s growth. Randy’s presence has become a steady source of motivation for our students, and we are grateful for the heart he brings to the club.
David is the kind of mentor every child deserves: patient, encouraging, and deeply invested in helping students grow. Whether he’s guiding a tough homework assignment or simply listening to a student share about their day, David shows up with compassion and generosity. His heart for our kids is unmistakable, and his presence brings comfort and confidence to Oak River Super Kids Club. We’re honored to celebrate David and the countless ways he lifts up our students.
Our Super Kids Club in Estero thrives thanks to dedicated volunteers like Mr. Russ. Each week, he shows up with a smile—and snacks the kids eagerly anticipate. Beyond tutoring and mentoring, Mr. Russ brings genuine care to every interaction. He engages fully in our faith-based activities, joining students in prayer and encouraging their growth in both academics and character. His steady presence makes a lasting impact, and we’re grateful for the joy and support he brings to our students.
Elizabeth brings positivity that lifts students up and helps them see what they’re capable of. Her caring approach creates an environment where kids feel encouraged to try, learn, and keep going—even when the work is tough. She celebrates every milestone and reminds students that their achievements matter. We’re thankful for the optimism and heart she brings to Rosemary SKC.
