Meet Paul:
As a longtime volunteer at the Sarah Heinz House, Rojik has impacted the lives of thousands of children.
Paul Rojik has been volunteering every Wednesday evening for the past 52 years. He acts as a mentor to a group of 30 middle school boys, guiding their projects and activities during their weekly meetings. Rojik enjoys working with the boys club, planning activities for his group, such as different crafts and trips to the museum and planetarium. He says this time together is important as it offers the boys a calm, respectful setting in which they can learn to work together. And he would know. As a North Side youth, Rojik participated in programs himself. “I felt strongly to give back to the ‘house’ because of the guidance, leadership and caring of the staff when I was a member. It had a great impact on me,” he says.
