Volunteers: By the Numbers

CTW’s supporters are generous with their time as well as their finances!

CTW’s Volunteers donated more than 800 hours of volunteer efforts toward CTW productions, programs,

facilities, and fundraisers.

Assuming CTW would have had to pay at least minimum wage to an employee to perform these

tasks…

CTW VOLUNTEERS DONATED MORE THAN $6,800 IN EFFORT IN

2017-2018.

That’s about $17 per child.
