Help Make College Dreams a Reality — Volunteer! The Multnomah Athletic Foundation (MAF) is forming its 2022 Scholarship Review teams and is looking for MAC members to be part of the incredible, rewarding process.
“I got involved to support students and enrich the overall process of obtaining scholarship funding,” notes Demian Lucas, foundation volunteer. “As the mother of four daughters, I encourage sports participation and education. In sports, students learn teamwork, leadership, and time management, not to mention improve their physical health and increase skills. I want to lend my lived experience, and voice, to help create opportunities for young people in our community. It is valuable to have a robust process for volunteers to follow that ensures the full consideration of each student application. The foundation’s approach was super easy, and I’ve truly enjoyed the opportunity to support talented youth within our community.”
Volunteers make a big difference even with a small time commitment. MAF serves increasingly diverse communities, and welcomes volunteers who reflect a range of backgrounds, particularly those from historically marginalized or underrepresented groups.
