Volunteer Spotlight: Donna Anderson

Donna Anderson started volunteering for the WOW! program at Wilson Elementary in February of 2006. She enjoys spending an afternoon each week with the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade girls, assisting with homework and sharing her love of sports and fitness with the girls. She has been able to integrate her passion for yoga into her volunteer work, and she comments that she is “really enjoying the challenge of transitioning from avid student to being a teacher, giving the girls a good introduction to yoga”. She hopes to solicit donated yoga supplies to allow more girls to participate next school year. Lisa Lee, WOW! Program Coordinator at Wilson Elementary, states that “Donna is a fantastic volunteer. The girls in WOW! always look forward to seeing her each week, and they truly appreciate how she has opened their eyes and hearts to the world of yoga.” Caring adult volunteers such as Donna inspire girls to experience new things at Girls Inc. every week.
