In this episode of Change Starts with You, host Jenn Williamson, UWEC"S Director of Impact, chats with Haley Davenport, UWEC's Development Manager, about two incredible programs that connect volunteers of all ages — ReadingPals and Retire United.
Haley shares how ReadingPals helps preschool and kindergarten students across Okaloosa and Walton counties build early literacy skills through weekly one-on-one reading sessions with caring volunteers. She also talks about Retire United, which engages the “55 and better” community in meaningful service projects that keep them active, connected, and giving back.
Together, Jenn and Haley highlight how volunteerism creates both community impact and personal fulfillment — showing that even a small act of service can make a big difference.
