One of our amazing volunteers, Cathy Rotman, was recently featured in a Volunteer Spotlight in the Coloradoan. Since we couldn’t find a copy of the interview online, we thought we’d just share what Cathy had to say about volunteering at the Matthews House with you here on our blog. We hope you enjoy meeting Cathy.

Where do you primarily volunteer? The Matthews House

In what ways do you like to volunteer? I love volunteering with kids, in or out of schools. They’re real. They’re honest. They make me laugh.

What made you choose the Matthews House? I liked the idea of mentoring a youth and growing that type of relationship over a period of time. I don’t have that opportunity substituting in different classes, different schools every week.

What do you like best about volunteering? Along with mentoring a youth at Matthews House, I have the honor of being the House Mom once a week. I get to just hang out with the kids and watch them grow and figure things (life) out with the amazingly dedicated staff there.

What’s the best/most fun thing that’s ever happened while you were volunteering? They (Matthews House) do a lot of field trips with the kids. Who doesn’t love field trips? My favorite would have to be snowshoeing up at Rocky Mountain National Park last winter.

Thanks Cathy!!!
