Dalbey Employees Volunteer Time to Charitable Causes
The hardworking staff of Dalbey Education – acting individually and collectively as a team – take care of Dalbey Education’s customers as well as the community.
Beyond being dedicated instructors and mentors at work, Dalbey Education employees also donate their time and abilities outside of the office. Below are just a few examples of staff members who volunteer to serve the community.
Robert K., Senior Business Start-up Rep
Robert has been a part of Eldora Mountain Resort’s outdoor program for disabled individuals for six years, donating at least one day of his weekends between December and March to working with the ESRP.
He’s a Special Recreation Program instructor for disabled athletes – those who are blind, have developmental disabilities, like Down syndrome or cerebral palsy, or have limited motor skills, such as paraplegics and quadriplegics.
Robert has also been involved with Special Olympics events hosted at Eldora in the past.
“I believe skiing gives people a sensation like flying… it’s something many won’t experience any other way,” Robert explained.

Don C. and Mike B., Customer Service Team Leaders
Don and Mike are volunteer coaches for a local sixth-grade football team. Mike was a participant in this program as a child; Don was involved in a similar youth football league in Lafayette, CO. As a result, they decided to give back to their communities and share their time and wisdom with some of today’s kids.
Don and Mike devoted 10-12 hours each week to their coaching efforts.
“Youth sports create leaders and encourage teamwork. Ultimately, we are hoping to prep the team to excel not only in football, but also in life, “ said Mike.
“It was a fun experience that gave us a different perspective on our leadership roles,” Don said. “Plus, I gave myself a better place to live by improving the lives of others.”
Jess D., Facilities Manager
Jess volunteers with Project Angel Heart, a local charity that has promoted the health, dignity and self sufficiency of people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, liver and kidney disease, and other life threatening illnesses for 15 years.
“Project Angel Heart is an amazing, Denver-born non-profit, and I am really excited to be able to help them out,” said Jess.

Conrad G., Director of Software Development
Conrad is an active volunteer with the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. He has been donating up to eight hours of his free time each week to assist this non-profit organization over the last year.
“As volunteers, we spend our time caring for the animals and going out with the ‘Pet Care Cruiser’ to find the adoptable animals homes. This is always a great time because we get to meet a lot of animal lovers like ourselves,” Conrad said.
“We are about to be trained as Adoption Liaisons, so we can more actively help people find their match with the adoptable animals.”
