How can volunteering give you a stronger passion for the athletic training profession?
What are alternative ways to advocate for the athletic training profession if you are currently unable to volunteer?


Join us for a special episode of "DedicATed" as host Katie Scott, MS, ATC, sits down with Outgoing District Eight Director, Lyn Nakagawa, MS, ATC, CSCS. In this episode, Nakagawa takes us on a journey through her first volunteer experience and shares what makes volunteering so appealing to her. Listen as she offers valuable advice to young listeners who may feel overwhelmed or unsure about where to start when it comes to volunteering. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that explores the power of volunteering and its impact on personal and professional growth.

“DedicATed” is a series in which we visit with ATs who have a passion for the profession. Whether it’s someone in a leadership role, an AT who is making strides in research or a member who is bringing increased awareness of the profession by working in an emerged setting – “DedicATed” highlights their stories and path as they advance athletic training.
