Why I Volunteer
“As a volunteer at TRC, I am honored to give my time to help those who want to help our environment. To be able to provide them with the help and knowledge they need to recycle properly, it is phenomenal. I'm a huge fanatic of helping my community, and I truly believe volunteering at the Recycling center makes a difference.” -Brenda G.
Bicycle-friendly communities attract new employers and improve the well-being of its citizens. By volunteering with the Bicycle Ambassador and Safe Routes to School programs, I'm helping to make Fort Collins an even better place to live and work.” - Pete F.
“Now more than ever do I realize that I will never be content with a sedentary life, that I will always be haunted by thoughts of a sun-drenched elsewhere.” The Nomad: Diaries of Isabelle Eberhardt -Georgia W.
