Douglas County School

ThunderRidge High School sophomore Nathan Denier is making a meaningful impact in the community through volunteering. Throughout his high school career, Nathan has completed an impressive 285+ service hours, spanning 18 different organizations and 22 service events!

Nathan has contributed to a diverse range of projects. He has packed food boxes for Food Bank of the Rockies; built structures like garden boxes, chicken coops, and shade structures for local churches and schools; helped Special Olympics families; planted trees and maintained trails for local and state parks; prepared food for families at the Ronald McDonald House; and assisted with a variety of sporting and holiday events throughout the Highlands Ranch community.

Nathan ventured beyond his community last summer as a volunteer at Emerald Bay, a Boy Scouts of America camp located on a remote part of Catalina Island off the coast of California. There, he wore many hats: teaching merit badges, acting as a campsite host, serving meals, performing in campfire programs, lending a hand with waterfront activities, and providing excellent customer service to campers.

Nathan continues to seek new opportunities to give back, showcasing a genuine passion for helping others and a commitment to making a positive impact in the world. Thank you for your exceptional service, Nathan!
