Our Club volunteer wins United Way Volunteer of the Week By Amber Hood, Volunteer Relations VISTA I get more out of volunteering at Our Club than I give. The whole Our House organization is just amazing and a true step in the right direction for this community. It is just people helping people, nothing more and nothing less, just the way it should be. - Sean Morell 10 Heart of Arkansas United Way chose Our House volunteer Sean Morell as their Volunteer of the Week for the week of May 16. He was presented with a plaque in Our Club and was announced as Volunteer of the Week on KSSN 96FM. Even though Sean is a busy medical school student, he finds time to dedicate to the kids of Our Club, the after-school program at Our House. Sean is dependable, kind, and always willing to take initiative. He helps with homework, leads games and activities, and volunteers extra time during school holidays. Last Christmas, Sean helped with Our House’s Adopt-a-Family program to make sure every child had a special Christmas. Sean builds meaningful relationships with the children at Our House. Our kids see that, and they love Mr. Sean!
