Shoring up community

Ballardite Brian Wynne knows how fragile a community can be. Having been at law school in Tulane University in New Orleans last year when Hurricane Katrina touched land, he's seen first hand a community dissolve.

A league of your own

If you're considering volunteer work, you have to decide how much your time is worth, and what you'll get for it.

Half time not enough for high school athletic trainers

Athletic trainers at the Seattle Public Schools often have their hands full trying to take care of student athletes while working only 20 hours a week.

The Seattle School District contracts with the Virginia Mason Sports Medicine Clinic to provide athletic trainers through the Virginia Mason Sports Medicine Seattle Public High School Outreach Program.
