Your Voice
We believe student voices are essential in our mission and are a strong voice for how a new public aquatic center fits into the social infrastructure of the community.
A new public aquatic center will become a place of opportunity and community connection for generations, so the voice of students today will ensure that they will have a facility that meets their needs and those of the future.

The following are ways students can volunteer with SPLASHForward and help us build momentum to bring new public aquatic facilities to our region.
