Volunteer Recognition

SMART knows that it's our volunteers that create the biggest impact in the lives of those we serve, and we wanted a way to recognize the work you do. Throughout the month, we will be featuring several of the volunteers you recognized through the new Volunteer Recognition Program.

SuzieSMARTFriends - SROL Facilitator

Suzie is amazing. She actually manages her meetings well. She is compassionate, yet firm. She steers participants to the tools. She had assisted me in becoming a better meeting helper. My confidence is growing because of her commitment to participants in Family & Friends, and in her past service as facilitator in SMART Recovery meetings. She does research and I respect her so much. I am so grateful to her for her dedication and firm kindness.

RobR62 - SROL Facilitator

RobR62 is there for some seriously though times and seems to know the right questions to ask or using tools you didn't consider using. RobR62 is genuine and people who benefit from his company know it and feel it. He is humble and giving if anything. He SOMETIMES tells great jokes. The meetings I've attended RobR62 puts up some poignant motivational and self-care statements or sayings. He knows what to do and when to do it. All around all I can say RobR62 is amazingly fantastic and the people I know around here feel, think, and know the same … RobR62 you are appreciated and loved.
