A conversation with Volunteer Parent of the Year, Gaby Cavins

Quality volunteers are the backbone of any successful youth-sports organization. I’m often reminded of this while reviewing our finalists’ nominations for the national volunteer parent and volunteer coach of the year awards.

Rather than write about the importance of recruiting quality volunteers, I’ve opted to share my interview with Gaby Cavins, our Volunteer Parent of the Year. She has volunteered for years while serving in the U.S. Navy at the U.S. base in Yokosuka, Japan. A born leader, she’s known on the base as “The Mayor” for all she does—and her insights can help bolster your programs.
