About:
Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) members from Kenmore East High School and Kenmore West High School recently came together for a day of service volunteering with Leveling the Playing Field.
The students dedicated their time to helping support the organization’s mission of expanding access to sports and recreation by redistributing donated athletic equipment to communities and programs in need.
Through their volunteer efforts, the SAAC members demonstrated leadership, teamwork, and a commitment to giving back beyond competition. Their involvement highlights how student-athletes can make a positive impact by helping create more opportunities for young athletes to participate in sports regardless of financial barriers.
Experiences like this continue to show the power of service and community engagement while reinforcing the important role athletics can play in building empathy, leadership, and social responsibility among student-athletes.
