As the world cheered for their nation’s greatest athletes in the 2012 Olympic Games inLondon we couldn’t help but notice the parallels between Olympians and volunteers.

Olympians, with their athletic excellence, pursue a goal that some deem impossible. Butsomewhere between lofty and laudable, the best of the best make their dreams come true.Though, in our eyes, attaining gold medal status is not limited to athletes.

Volunteerism requires a commitment to make the world a better place, a goal that our communitystrives for daily. When we opened up the call for nominations of outstanding local volunteers, wewere flooded with the following qualities: discipline, passion, altruism and allegiance.

Within the pages of our Olympic-themed Volunteer Guide you’ll find images and stories frominspirational volunteers and admirable athletes. Together, we feel, they represent greatness.

Our guest columnist Greg Louganis, a four-time Olympic diving gold medalist and activevolunteer within the GLBT community, shares what it means to dedicate oneself to a goal orcause and the qualities required to be successful (page 12). Fellow Olympians also share theirthoughts on the importance of volunteerism (page 13).

As always, the issue provides a listing of local available volunteer opportunities with a new designthat can be pulled in its entirety and held for future reference (starting on page 21). So pick yourpassion and pass it on.

This year’s featured volunteers exhibit a gold standard with theirmotivating attitudes and actsof compassion. Posing with them are local Olympic stars who capture the essence of stalwartdedication; both are unstoppable.

When it came time to select the featured Olympians for our cover, the task seemed difficult at first.But it didn’t take long for us to think of a few local Olympians whose dedication is admirable.These truly amazing athletes enjoy the thrills and challenges of competition despite life’s dailyobstacles. So we worked with Sun Sentinel staff photographer Robert Duyos to capture theenthusiasm of Taravella High School’s Special Olympics athletes. These Olympians are at the topof our podium.

While many of us will never have the opportunity to compete in the Olympics, much less win amedal, we can still perform like an Olympian in every part of our lives. To be the best one can beand to donate one’s time to the betterment of others is nothing short of commendable.

Staffer’s most memorableOlympic moments:

ABBI: It was the 1996 AtlantaSummer Olympics. I was only 11-

years-old but I still remember themoment gymnast Kerri Strug nailedthe landing of her vault, despite a

damaged ankle. As my entire familywatched we gasped in horror,

shock and pure amazement. Strug’sperformance guaranteed the goldmedal for the U.S. Strug literally

took one for the team, which is oneof the many qualities an Olympian

should possess.

STACY: Like most little girls, I had anidol – someone I wanted to emulate– it was Olympian Nadia Comaneci.I dreamed of being a gymnast justlike her. Luckily, my folks decided

to take us to the Olympics inMontreal. Sitting next to my dad, I

found myself watching my favoriteathlete become the first gymnast inOlympic history to earn a perfect

10. It was a “perfect” moment,one that I’ve always treasured.

Witnessing that kind of perfectioninspires the human spirit to see that

there is no limit to what we canaccomplish, whether in an Olympicvenue or in our own community.

MEREDITH: To be honest, I didn’thave very much knowledge aboutthe Olympics when we started

planning for this issue. But aftertracking down South Florida’sOlympic participants, I’ve growna fond appreciation for the

competition and what it entails. Iwasn’t sure what to expect, butI’ve never worked with a more

gracious and grounded group ofpeople; their patience and generosity

taught me that being great in allfacets of life is equally important.

Every four years I will look forwardto the Olympics and Paralympics,remembering fondly the fruitful

summer I worked with (and learnedfrom) some of the best athletes

– and individuals – in the world.

Through your support, theUrban League of Broward County takes the lead on

issues important to you and your family–education, jobs, housing andhealth.

At the Olympics thissummer in London, Iwas asked about the

“sacrifices” I had made in mylife to achieve excellence. I said,“I don’t view what I did as a“sacrifice” but a choice as to mylife and lifestyle. For Olympians:it isn’t a sacrifice, it is a practiceand a choice.The decision to commit myself

to attain an extraordinary goalisn’t about what I gave up – it isabout what I was able to gain. Idon’t think in terms of what I ammissing, I focus on what I amtrying to achieve. The decisionsI made centered around what Icould do to be the very best Icould possibly be.It takes great effort to

get up every morning anddedicate yourself to training,healthy living and the mentaland emotional strains of high performance. I feel the rewards of success vastly outweigh theinconveniences and even the hardships of injury or competitive disappointment.Anyone who sets out to become an Olympian knows that the road is long and full of peaks and

valleys. It takes endurance to climb the mountain and stand at the summit. I’ve never met anathlete who said it was easy. But we do more often than not make a game out of the challenges weare faced with.I believe deeply that no one achieves greatness on his own. Even in individual sports, we have a

team around us – coaches, parents, friends, fellow athletes – who support our dreams and help usstay focused on how to achieve them. With whatever it is we want to accomplish, it’s important tohave people around us who believe in us.

In my own athletic achievements the people in my life were my coach, Ron O’Brien andMom. Among the lessons she taught me was the idea that I should make every place I go betterbecause I was there. I think this is a dream shared by many people who dedicate themselves tovolunteerism.It isn’t always easy to get up and train, and similarly, it isn’t always easy to get up and work

without pay for the sake of an idea – knowing we can make the world better in big ways andsmall. But just like an athlete, those who volunteer shouldn’t think of what they do as a sacrificebut as a choice – a decision to dedicate their time to helping others.When an issue or a dream seems too big, sometimes it’s best to stay focused on what we have

in front of us at that moment in time. In 1980, when America boycotted the Moscow Olympics, Ihad to rethink my life and postpone my dream of an Olympic gold medal for four years. It seemeda long time away. So some days, my coach and I had to create little goals to get me through apractice and give me a sense of achievement. We played games that proved to work to my benefitin breaking records; we do get good at what we practice!I think many people who volunteer go through the same process: when the big issues seem

overwhelming, we just have to break it down and find one thing we can work toward and count asa success. For me in my everyday life that means just picking up litter I see on the street.It’s the little things we do every day that result in the big achievements that change the world.

That’s true for Olympic athletes and that’s true for volunteers.So whatever your passion is, know that great achievement comes down to little acts: believing in

the worthiness of your goal, surrounding yourself with the right team and turning up every day tomake some progress, great or small, in support of your ambition.The formula for success is the same for all endeavors and the world is counting on people to

dream big. No worthy goal requires us to “sacrifice” – it requires us to make a choice: To be thebest we can be in whatever we do!

towards achieving my goal of Olympic gold. Thisyear, I reached that goal. The dedication,commitment, passion, hard work, and endurancerequired to achieve Olympic gold is not too differentfrom the qualities of volunteers who have dedicatedcountless hours towards helping others. Volunteers doso much good for the various causes, but often timesdo not get the credit deserved because most of theirwork is done behind the scenes. This was very similarto my preparation for the Olympics. I spent countlesshours behind the scenes training for the largesttournament of my career.Helping others, while not getting paid to do so,

takes an incredible amount of passion and dedication.Volunteers give their time because they want to, notbecause they have to. This is where I feel like I canreally relate to the volunteers. I do not play tennisfor the money or because someone is forcing me to.I play tennis because I truly love it, which puts thevolunteers and myself in the same boat.

To say Herb Brotspies is enthusiastic would be an understatement.Although technically retired, Brotspies is an adjunct professorat a local university yet still finds time to not only volunteer butalso actively participate in his community’s Adventurers’ Club. It’swith this club that he learned about Broward Partnership for theHomeless. The club took its members there for a tour, and soonafter, Brotspies began volunteering.

Brotspies volunteers in the computer lab, where his duties rangefrom simple tasks, such as giving residents a username andpassword, to more complex duties, such as helping them with theirresumes.

Quickly, he learned that residents have varied backgrounds.“Many of them come in with surprisingly limited skills that you andI take for granted. A guy came in and asked me what Google is.They are not always what you expect.

“In the last two months, I’ve seen lawyers and ones with Ph.Ds.You get a different view of what homelessness is.”

For Brotspies, volunteer work is more than just outward looking.“You say, ‘How can I help other people?’ You don’t realize that youbenefit yourself. You give something and get something back. It’s atwo-way street.”

When asked what his favorite adventure is thus far, Brotspiesanswers without hesitation and with, of course, enthusiasm: “Thisone!”

MATTIE BROWNBY MEREDITH CLEMENTS

Mattie Brown, 65, can’t wait to start herweekly 7 a.m. volunteer shift at the BrowardCounty VA Clinic in Sunrise where shegreets and assists incoming patients. Brown,whose husband is a Vietnam War veteran,entered retirement earlier this year. Inspiredby First Lady Michelle Obama’s “dedicationto help military families,” Brown enjoys herinteraction with the men and women whohave sacrificed for the country.

Speaking slowly and calmly, Brown sharesa recent moving experience she had: “Amom was rolling her son in a wheelchair,and he started crying and said, ‘My momshouldn’t have to do this because she’s80-something years old.’ I said, ‘Sir, I’m amother and a grandmother, and I know shewouldn’t want anyone else to take care ofyou.’ The mom smiled and said, ‘That isexactly right.’

“They are so proud … wearing their militaryhats. They are so appreciative ... to just seea smiling face. I want to help any way I can.My life isn’t perfect, I have suffered losses,but I can still give back and inspire.”

Though he’s no stranger to volunteer work, Forest Williams was initially intimidated bythe commitment required for volunteers of Deliver the Dream. But after his first retreat, hewas “hooked.” The 46-year-old entrepreneur, who was recruited by an employee, has nowvolunteered for seven weekend retreats.

Deliver the Dream provides expenses-paid weekends for families affected by childrenwith serious illnesses or crisis. Before the retreat, volunteers meet at the camp location onThursday for orientation. Friday, the families arrive and volunteers kick the weekend off witha night of dinner and games, like karaoke, bingo and Wii. Volunteers are assigned to anindividual family for the weekend, which is where Forest implements his cardinal rule: “Youdon’t want the family to do anything but have fun.

“When the parents show up, there is a ton of hesitation. … As a parent of a special-needschild, you are so used to being protective and not getting much help … so as volunteers,

we want to say, ‘We got you. We got you this weekend. Don’t worry about it. Let go, havefun.’ There is a bond that happens almost immediately.”

The rest of the weekend is filled with activities that range from canoeing to theatricalperformances; the weekend’s goal is to alleviate stress and enhance coping skills.

Describing the experience as emotional, Williams says, “It’s amazing, I’ve never seenanything like it with all the volunteer work I’ve done. … I’ve stayed friends with a lot of myfamilies after the retreat. We Facebook, we email. The bond goes beyond the retreat.

“[Volunteering] enriches my life. It absolutely does. I get more satisfaction out of volunteerwork than anything else I do in my life. It’s hard to explain.

“My goal is to retire and do nothing but volunteer work.”P

Visiting HandsOn Broward’s website, Barber “searched for availableopportunities that needed my skills. I found out that the center was havingdatabase problems, so it was a good fit for me. They keep me busy, so I’mhappy.

“I feel I’ve been blessed. And they call me ‘Mr. Barber,’ which I like. I’m notone to seek fame and glory; the center was very good to put me in for this. Ijust always try to do my best.”
