"I witness moments of kindness every day at CSS," says Davia Thomas, 22.
Davia, who has been volunteering with CSS since October 2025, helps out at the front desk. In this role, they interact with everyone coming in to the office and make sure people get what they need.
"CSS is an easy environment to get comfortable with," they share. "I love to see how people are doing and have genuine interactions. There's a high level of support between clients and staff."
Davia has this advice for those interested in volunteering at CSS: do it! In their experience as a volunteer, CSS "offers supportive staff, a welcoming environment, and many areas to display one's strengths." They add that there is always some way to plug in to day-to-day activities.
In their free time, Davia enjoys bird watching, reading romance books, and walking their Rottie-mixed dog. They are a student at Lane Community College majoring in Social Work.
