What Participants Are Saying

Seeing is Believing!

You could read about Extra Hands for ALS all day long and still never really know what it is like to participate in the program. So we have produced a series of videos in which the participants speak for themselves. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed making them. If you are as inspired as we hope you will be, you can sign up by clicking here.

  • For Students: Meet our founder, Jack Orchard, and hear what Extra Hands student volunteers have to say about their experiences.

  • For ALS Families: The Schoemehls and the Kellers talk about what it is like having help from Extra Hands for ALS.

  • For Adult Volunteer Mentors: Various Mentors talk about their role in Extra Hands for ALS, and you'll hear about the experiences of some ALS families and student volunteers.

  • A Meaningful Life: Our founder, Jack Orchard, was profiled on the NBC affiliate in St. Louis shortly after the publication of his book, Extra Hands - Grasping for a Meaningful Life. Check out this story!

  • Jack Orchard Day: Extra Hands has inspired many people to get involved in community service, but you won't believe how inspiring the volunteers can be too. Check out this terrific story about 14-year old Andrea Hermann.
