The current class of 2027
"As the service coordinator for the Class of 2026, my goal is to reach out to different local organizations in search of volunteer opportunities that align with our values as occupational therapy students. We have been lucky enough to partner with such organizations as Family Health West, Special Olympics Colorado, STRiVE, Colorado Discovery Ability, and Roundup River Ranch of Serious Fun Camps. What they all have in common is providing services to people with different needs to foster an environment where they can reach their full potential. As I've seen my classmates enjoy their time volunteering, some as first timers and others rediscovering the reward of volunteering, one thing has been clear: the impact on the organizations and the students lasts far beyond the hours we put in." -Libby Gemperline
