Each month Community Shares of Wisconsin presents the Backyard Hero Award to organizations and people making change happen in our community.
This month’s hero is Tim Andryk, a reliable and dedicated volunteer at the background check clinics Legal Action of Wisconsin and Urban League of Greater Madison hold several times a year. Tim volunteers at every clinic, treats clients with dignity and respect, answers client questions thoroughly, and is a great mentor to new volunteer attorneys and law/paralegal students. Thank you, Tim!
