Emma Dahl: Achilles International

I have been volunteering for Achilles since June and have thoroughly enjoyed the gratification of volunteering. I first learned about Achilles through my friend, and we have been going as often as possible. As a runner, I was so excited to find a volunteering opportunity that combined my love for running and desire to make a difference in the running community, especially because I believe everyone should be able to experience the benefits of running regardless of their ability. The environment at Achilles is very welcoming, positive, and friendly, and everyone knows each other; I think everyone also feels like an integral part of the Achilles mission, where their contributions are valued.
