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. 2017-2018 Board of Directors 2017-2018 Seasonal Staff Technical Director President: Rick Bush Sarah Skow, Spengler Nathanson P.L.L.
