Nia Dorsey, a defender on the Commodore women's soccer team shares how she fell in love with volunteering.
Nia Dorsey was first bit by the service bug during her sophomore year at Vanderbilt. That spring, the defender on the Commodores’ soccer team volunteered on a weekly basis at Harvest Hands, a Nashville-based nonprofit that centers on community development in South Nashville neighborhoods. Along with teammates, Dorsey served as a mentor to local first graders, helping to tutor and assist with homework.

“For me, that kind of kick-started it,” Dorsey said.
