For the past year and a half, Florida State tight end Mavin Saunders has been volunteering at Riley Elementary School in Tallahassee, mentoring two young students. Saunders said that this started as extra credit for a class, however following that semester, has continued to donate his time (four hours a week to be specific).
As a result, he received a certificate of commendation by Riley Elementary School and was named recipient of the Outstanding Adult Volunteer Award.
“I was pretty shocked. I was mentoring the kid obviously and (School Administrator Mr. Lang) kept asking for my information and I told him my information.
