As National Volunteer Week continues, we have another amazing volunteer to highlight:​
​
Elizabeth Heenan from GiGi's Playhouse Raleigh is many things — a volunteer, a participant, and a true example of what it means to be .​

​Earlier this week, Elizabeth was honored with a Best of All Award in recognition of her dedication to sharing her voice in over 80 virtual volunteer orientations across the past four years!​

​Her passion and commitment have helped welcome, inspire, and empower countless volunteers, creating a ripple effect of acceptance and impact across our network.​

​Elizabeth, your voice matters. Your leadership matters. And the difference you’ve made is something truly special!​
