Local Heroes
Jan Shaner
It's probably essential for all of us to maintain a sense of purpose in
order to be content with our lives. You don't need any special skills.
All you need is to care enough to reach out.

Rocky Mountain Animal Defense
Rocky Mountain Animal Defense
(RMAD) helps to eliminate the human-imposed
suffering of animals in the Rocky Mountain region. Recent efforts
include
playing a major role in coordinating the 2003 Prairie Dog Summit and
establishing Boulder as a bird sanctuary.

I believe that volunteering and philanthropy should be learned at the
earliest age possible. I do what I do not only because I want to model
generosity to my son but to show that in volunteering and philanthropy,
we are helping Boulder County become that much better of a place to
live. When life serves us some bumps, we need to just do some volunteer
work or learn about some of the people that our non-profits serve.
Success Stories
Adopt-A-School
NCAR Warehouse Manager
Before EXTRAs! for
Education we took nine truckloads to the landfill one day. Schools
could have reused most of it. Now we specifically save items in the
warehouse for delivery to schools.
Alternatives for Youth, Robert
Robert
Robert, a third grade student, was chronically late for school. His teacher’s efforts to contact his parents about the problem, to encourage him to arrive on time and to discover why he was late resulted in little change in his arrival time.
