Sarah Selogic lives united by keeping her eyes open to new experiences while helping others. Volunteer Connection is proud to announce Sarah Selogic as the Community Volunteer of the Month.

Sarah Selogic loves her new experience of volunteering with United Rehabilitation Services (URS) where she assists with Development Support and Adult Services Support. United Rehabilitation Services is a nonprofit organization that works to enhance the quality of life for children and adults with disabilities and special needs.

Although Sarah is a mother of two young children and a full time student and Sinclair Community College, she still searched for an opportunity to give back to the community while gaining job skills for possible future employment. Sarah’s first encounter with URS took place in 2010 when her daughter’s Girl Scout Troop volunteered with the agency for their Duck Mailing in preparation for the URS Annual Rubber Duck Regatta.

Sarah rejoined URS staff Diane Osman, Ashley Brookey and Vivian O’Connell in August 2011. As a very instrumental part of the team, Sarah has been involved with planning and preparations for many URS events and fundraisers, such as the Annual Bud Light Barstool Open, Annual Telethon, Community Breakfast events, Halloween Party for clients, Berry Hearing Center events, and the Rubber Duck Regatta.

Sarah is known to truly do whatever it takes to assist with anything that is going on at URS. “She has helped us out on the computer with countless hours of data input, stuffed envelopes for countless mailings, helped us arrange and wrap silent auction items, played bingo with our adult clients, helped the adult clients clean and tag ducks for the rubber duck regatta, made cookies for our client Halloween party, and accompanied the girl scout troop out to the party to dance with our clients,” explains Diane Osman, the Volunteer Coordinator with URS.

“I have learned so much, and enjoy the time I spend at URS,” says Sarah. Sarah would encourage everyone to jump into volunteering without hesitation. She would like to let others know that even if you feel inexperienced or that you do not have a lot of free time, you can still give back with what you know and the little time you do have.

After graduating from Sinclair Community College, Sarah plans to continue her education at Wright State University where she will study to become a Medical Social Worker. Sarah also enjoys spending time with her children and feels it is important to get them involved with community activities.

United Way’s Volunteer Connection is proud to recognize Sarah Selogic as the Community Volunteer of the Month for February.
