LAKE WALES, Fla. – Warner University Sports Information Director (SID)
Kyle Blue was just one of 13 representatives of the NAIA to participate in Volunteer 15 and one of 136 participants from all levels of CoSIDA.
Volunteer 15 is an initiative launched in 2014-15 to get CoSIDA members more involved in their communities. CoSIDA members promote the great civic works done by their athletics teams but there is no promotion, or very little, about CoSIDA members doing community service either with these teams or independently. CoSIDA members are encouraged to volunteer at least 15 hours of community service each academic year.
Since it's launch in 2014-15, the number of volunteers and total hours have increased setting another record for the CoSIDA Volunteer 15 Program. In the 2019-20 academic year, an impressive 136 members logged 10,252 hours in their communities and on their campuses nationwide.

Warner SID
Kyle Blue is featured as one of the NAIA representatives in this field. Blue totaled more than 150 volunteer hours this past academic season, which only 15 other CoSIDA members achieved.
Blue served a majority of his volunteer hours at his church, Winter Haven Worship Center in Winter Haven, Fla. He serves on the productions team at WHWC and is highly involved. "It's an awesome opportunity to serve at WHWC. They really embrace taking care of the local community and also are involved in outreach all over the world. WHWC makes a huge impact on Winter Haven and surrounding areas. I get to use my talents I've learned as a SID and apply them on the productions team almost every week and aide in the thousands of people that get to worship and hear the gospel of Jesus Christ." (Kyle Blue)
Kyle Blue was also honored by the NAIA-SIDA Publications Committee in June as he finished in 7
