A Marketing Publication of Sun Sentinel Company Broward Edition • Sept. 11, 2013 PRESENTED BY VOLUNTEER GUIDE
Volunteer Guide | Society Scene | Broward County edition 2013
Mar 10, 2016
Traditionally Society Scene’s annual Volunteer Guide is all about community service and giving back to one’s community. So when this year’s publication date coincided with the anniversary of 9/11, we couldn’t help but be inspired by the volunteer first responders from that historic day in our nation’s history. The first responders of 9/11 were the individuals who stopped what they were doing – many giving their lives – and rushed to the service of others. This selfless act is in many ways what volunteers nationwide do year-round in their own communities.

Going to college should teach you about more than what you learn in books and in the classroom.
At Nova Southeastern University, one of our core values is community. Our students have taken
that value to heart, and have learned so much about themselves and others in the process.
THERE ARE LESSONS. AND THERE ARE LIFE LESSONS.
WE TEACH BOTH.
NSU’s ‘A Day for Children’ brings thousands to campus each year for free health screenings provided through NSU’s Health Care Centers.

In just one example of community involvement,a group of NSU student is giving back by joiningforces with Tomorrow’s Rainbow, a local non-profit that helps children dealing with the loss ofa loved one. Through a combination of animaltherapy, counseling and peer interaction, childrenlearn to cope with their grief and feel joy again.
Tomorrow’s Rainbow relies heavily on volunteers for its success, and NSUstudents have contributed in a big way. By participating in more than six majorservice projects, including farm cleanups, construction, and benefit car washes,their hours of dedication and determination are working to ensure that a child’ssuffering is replaced by smiles, hope, and healing.
To learn more about NSU’s community involvement, go to Nova.edu.

Traditionally Society Scene’sannual Volunteer Guide is all aboutcommunity service and giving
back to one’s community. So when thisyear’s publication date coincided withthe anniversary of 9/11, we couldn’t helpbut be inspired by the volunteer firstresponders from that day in our nation’shistory.
The first responders of 9/11 werethe individuals who stopped what theywere doing – many giving their lives– and rushed to the service of others.This selfless act is in many ways whatvolunteers nationwide do year-round intheir own communities.
In 2009, Congress designated Sept.11 as the National Day of Service andRemembrance. The bipartisan holiday isled by the Corporation for National and
Community Service, MyGoodDeed andother nonprofits across the country, inan effort to implement one of the largestcharitable service days in our country’shistory.
The cover features a photograph oflocal volunteer firefighter Robin Russelland Sydney Hatch, 5, at the Plantation FireDepartment – the largest volunteer firedepartment in Florida, established in 1957.
Beginning on page 42, we share thestories of five Broward volunteers who giveback in different ways throughout theircommunity. To us, these volunteers are thefirst responders to our community’s needs.
To go with the 9/11 theme, wephotographed the volunteers in firstresponder settings. Thanks to BrowardCounty Sherriff’s Office, Fort LauderdaleMounted Police Unit, Plantation FireDepartment and West Palm Beach Police
Department for sharing our vision andgiving us full access to their equipmentand resources.
Other examples of the communityworking together can be found in Scene& Be Seen, starting on page 14. There weshare photographs of individuals workingside-by-side for the sake of nonprofits.
For a look at the organizations inyour community, pull out the volunteerlistings starting on page 19. Sorted bycity, the listings share information aboutthe nonprofit and volunteer opportunitiesavailable at each location.
And taking a break from the office, wejoined some true first responders on thestarting line at the third annual “Tunnel toTowers 5K,” which took place Sept. 7 inFort Lauderdale. The race was founded in
honor of Stephen Siller, a New York Cityfirefighter who was last seen running fromthe Brooklyn Battery tunnel to reach theWorld Trade Center with 75 pounds of gearstrapped to his back.
We were inspired not only by the 1,500people who showed up to participatebut the dozens of firefighters, police,sheriff’s deputies, military and SWAT teammembers who ran all 3.1 miles in fulluniforms with oxygen tanks and bulletproof vests.
On this anniversary of when our countrycame together as a nation united by grief,we’re reminded that it’s always importantto join forces. Only this time, we’re unitedby strength and inspiration in the power ofgiving back.

It’s in our blood.
Volunteerism is at the heart of NSU’score value of community — it is engrained
in our culture. Preparing students for theirfuture is about more than just learning aboutbusiness, psychology, marine biology, medicineor any of the 150 degree programs that NovaSoutheastern University offers. NSU preparesour students to be thoughtful and contemporarycitizens of the community.
This does not happen by itself. It is aproduct of individual dedication and continualreinforcement of the importance of communityin classes, campus activities and everythingthat we do at NSU. Our students volunteered anincredible 10,214 hours of service this past academic year, resulting in atangible social and economic impact in our community.
A few NSU highlights:• Named to the 2013 President’s Higher Education Community Service
Honor Roll• Designated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching as a “Community Engaged” university• Dedicated resources for veteran and service member community• Permanent home to Special Olympics Broward County• NSU’s dental clinics are the largest in the state, attending to
underserved patients on a sliding scale, with more than 22,000patients and 130,000 procedures performed in 2012
Going the extra mileThe NSU community organizes, hosts and participates in nearly
2,000 community events each year, such as the annual American HeartAssociation’s “Heart Walk” and the Autism Speaks’ annual “Walk Now forAutism.” This past year, students organized the inaugural “Motion for theOcean 5K,” benefiting a local nonprofit that uses marine science to supportat-risk youth.
The university’s annual “A Day for Children” event brings nearly10,000 people to campus for a fun-filled day of games and free health carefor children up to 15 years old, all provided through NSU’s Health CareCenters. Other students collaborated with Broward County Public Schoolsto mentor one-on-one with elementary school students in grades 1-5 whoare not performing at grade level. Tutors help students with subject matterwhile contributing toward increasing students‘ self-esteem and theirmotivation to learn—important skills to impart on the next generation ofcommunity leaders.
These are just a few of the things we do at NSU. I encourage everyoneto be involved in their community by volunteering and mentoring ouryouth.
All in the name of community!

When there’s no timeto change, the policesergeant shows up for
football practice still wearing his workuniform. So does the fireman.
And on those afternoons, the twomen, Fort Lauderdale High Schoolassistant coaches Harvey Jacques andPat McGee, are predictably teased bytheir players, who playfully make sirensounds.
“Yeah, they give me a hard timeabout that,” Jacques said, chuckling.“I’m the guy with the law, but I’m theoutlaw when I show up here in myuniform. It’s all good. It’s all in fun.They respect me for what I do. And Irespect them for what they do.”
Jacques, a 49-year-old sergeant
for the Fort Lauderdale PoliceDepartment for nearly a quartercentury, and McGee, a 51-year-olddriver/engineer for the Fort LauderdaleFire Department for more than threedecades, are also the linebackers anddefensive line coaches, respectively,for the Flying L’s.
Despite their demandingoccupations to “protect and serve,”they choose to donate their free timeto teach and mentor teenagers on thefield. Jacques, in his second year onhead coach Richard Dunbar’s staff, isnot paid. McGee, in his third season,receives the standard stipend of about$3,000 per year, but writes a checkback to the school for the entireamount and more.
“They are both hard-nosed,”Dunbar said. “Coach Jacques is morelaid-back while Coach McGee is more
an in-the-face type guy. He’s goingto squeeze you and get every ounce[of what] he can out of you. Andthey’re both very knowledgable aboutthe game. I wouldn’t trade them foranything in the world.”
Dunbar said it’s “a great idea” tohave a sergeant and firefighter on hiscoaching staff because many of hisplayers don’t have a father figure ormale role model in their homes, andJacques and McGee bring “workforceknowledge and what it’s like tostruggle and be successful and strivefor the things you want in life.”
Jacques and McGee both playedfootball in high school. Jacques playedat Miami Norland. McGee played atFort Lauderdale High. And both hadsons who graduated this past springwho played on the Flying L‘s footballteam. They both agreed that they
find a way to juggle their careers andcoaching because they love workingwith youngsters.
“I’ve always had good interactionwith kids,” said McGee, who is alsothe head coach for junior varsity atFort Lauderdale. “I think kids hearme. And I like to see them makeprogress.”
Jacques, who noted working withteenagers is “probably one of thethings that keeps me young,” echoedMcGee’s sentiments.
“It’s really rewarding when yousee a kid that can barely tie his shoes,and three years later you see the kidgraduating and going to college,” hesaid. “I’ve always liked coaching. Istarted when I was 19 for about fiveyears, and I’m glad I’m back doing it.It’s always been something that’s been

Professor Andrew Kirschner teaches educational leadership at Nova Southeastern University where he trains students to become deansand principals of school systems. But during his time as a mentor at the Jim & Jan Moran Club of Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County(BGCBC), his area of expertise ranges from vegetable juicing to chess competition.
One aspect that attracts Kirschner to volunteering at BGCBC is the flexibility of what the program can provide outside a regimented classroomsetting. Logging 363 hours in the last year, Kirschner has implemented a pen pal program that exposes members to different cultures; a rolemodels group that promotes leadership and good deeds; a cooking class where members make juices, smoothies, fruit salads and learn aboutthe importance of healthy eating; and a chess club that teaches the craft of the game and promotes sportsmanship.Kirschner focuses on teaching the children about healthy lifestyles, showing compassion to animals, and instilling overall good values – like
being kind and positive individuals.Pulling up to the club last year he noticed a student looking out the window into the parking lot. Walking into the building, Kirschner asked the
boy what he was looking for; he replied that he was looking for him. “It helped solidify how easy it is to make an impact in someone’s life,” hesaid.“We all have the power to bring good in the world, and volunteering is a constant reminder of the impact one person can have on these kids.”

With a desire to give animalsa voice, 76-year-old animalactivist Beverly Gibson
began volunteering 12 years ago forthe Florida Humane Society.The no-kill facility for animals
provides shelter to about 20 dogsand between 30-40 cats. At 7:15a.m., Gibson opens the facility andpreps for the other volunteers whocome in around 8:30 a.m. Whileher focus is on the felines, she alsoorientates new volunteers, maintainstheir schedules, does the supplyshopping for the center, assiststhe CEO and transports the catswhen they need to be seen by aveterinarian.Her motivation for involvement
comes from seeing the direct impactvolunteers have every day; thecenter has only two paid staffers.Volunteering four to five days aweek, her role at the center hasbecome her full-time career.When the cats are hurting,
she’s hurting. But she maintainsperspective by always doing thebest she can, “otherwise you getcrippled when you can’t help.”PHOTO BY KARA STARZYK

Managing paralegal and client communications director of a FortLauderdale real estate law firm, Nate D. Handley, 33, completedthe 30-hour training to be a Guardian ad Litem in 2010.
Guardian ad Litems are trained volunteers appointed by the court toprotect the rights and advocate for the best interests of children whohave been abused or neglected.When Handley receives a case, he reviews the basic details and visits
the child’s current guardians to educate them on the Guardian ad Litemprogram and what his role will be. Handley then introduces himself tothe child/children to create a bond and establish trust. “I’m there as afriend, as an advocate. I ask if there is anything they want the judge toknow or anything they need.” He documents their progress by meetingwith their teachers and other adults involved in their life.After 90 days, a court decision is made – sometimes this is re-unifying
them with their parents, but sometimes parental termination isrecommended.In addition to Handley’s presence in the courtroom, he actively
advocates for Voices for Children of Broward County program, thenonprofit fundraising arm of the Guardian Ad Litem. Leading acommunity outreach committee, he attends events to educate thepublic about the program’s significance and its need for donors.“Usually going to court is very stressful. But one of the happiest days
is adoption day because we’ve worked so hard on getting these kidstheir forever family,” he said. In one case involving a 4-year-old boyand 2-year-old girl, Handley walked into the courtroom and the kidsscreamed his name, running toward him almost knocking him over withtheir excitement. Knowing he played a small part in the kids possiblyhaving a better future is the reinforcement for all his hard work.
“There’s no better feeling than that.”Nate also traveled to Tallahassee to speak with legislators about
implementing the “Normalcy Bill” (SB164), to give foster parents rights tomake decisions (like taking the child for a haircut) without having to get acourt order.“Volunteering has given me a completely different perspective on life and
I can take that into every case. It’s taught me that even when things aretough, you can do whatever you set your mind to do.”

Once a week, two groups gather at the Parkland Library andTamarac Community Center for two hours where volunteer JaniceIndek provides a topic to be explored through their writing. The
topic is used as a creative platform for personal discovery, thoughsometimes individuals stray to a topic of their own and sometimes thegroup veers into a philosophical conversation about life.The members range in age from 40 to 93. Some have no writing
experience; others have been published. Some use the experience asa therapeutic art form, while others are interested in documenting theirfamily’s lives for future generations and some are just interested indeveloping a new skill. The one thing they have in common is they’recurious about writing.Indek, a published author and poet in her early 80s, has led the writing
groups for seven years.She helps people explore issues from their lives, like loss or love. She
encourages them to conjure their first memories into words, whichoften opens the floodgates to a lifetime of discovery. Promoting positivefeedback and a nurturing environment, the groups work together foreveryone to feel comfortable sharing. “The discussions make us afamily and our experience together gives us a greater understandingthan we could’ve reached on our own,” she said.The groups have published 11 manuscripts with two more in the
works. The members take turns reading their work aloud each weekand then provide commentary about the topic or constructive criticism.Writing was all Indek knew, so she channeled her expertise into
facilitating the volunteer program. And when her husband died threeyears ago she recounted that the classes were what kept her afloatthrough the loss.Indek believes that writing is a form of “creativity that doesn’t stop
until you stop; we’re writing the legacy of our lives and the experiencekeeps us alive.”

In 1992, Coral Springs resident DawnPetito began losing her eyesightto Diabetic retinopathy. She visited
Lighthouse of Broward, an organizationthat provides training and rehabilitationfor visually impaired individuals of allages, where she went through their adultprogram.Recognizing the program’s impact on her
life, she began volunteering there in 2011when she lost her position with the U.S.Postal Service. And she hasn’t stoppedsince.The legally blind 49-year-old and her
guide dog, Clyde, volunteer two or threetimes a week for eight hours a day.Working in the organization’s developmentdepartment, Petito searches for supportersand funding in the community. She alsohelps at the front desk and welcomes newclients with her story.“We’re like one big family here, and
hopefully I can help put someone at ease,”she says.Petito knows how crucial the programs
are for people like herself, so she’sdedicated to keeping it running for others.Petito takes pride in assisting Jose Lopez
Masso, director of community relationsand development, and the rest of the teamin helping with the day-to-day tasks, butattending the fundraising events whereshe witnesses the culmination of theirhard work is her favorite part.“It feels nonstop, like we’re always
running around, and then to see it cometogether is such a great feeling,” she said.For Petito, losing her eyesight doesn’t
mean she’s lost her vision to make animpact.
