Athletes Who Care

Athletes Who Care is a program that gives our student athletes an opportunity to reach out to the community. Our student athletes tutor and mentor elementary-middle school age students at the charter schools throughout the Greater Grand Rapids area. We strongly encourage our student athletes to participate in this program to help build their leadership and team building skills.

Athletes Who Care is a rewarding experience for both the Grand Valley student athlete and the students they work with. We are always eager to learn of more opportunities to give back to West Michigan. If your organization is seeking enthusiastic volunteers, please contact Samantha MacFarland. If you are a student athlete looking to get involved with the community and AWC, you can sign up in the LAKER Academic Center (B152), or call Samantha at (616) 331-3204.
