Volunteers helped rehydrate participants at the 2009 Nautica Malibu Triathlon. Malibu residents Tricia Tompkins and Shelby Olson offered a cool drink and warm smile to athletes during the second leg of the race. The Pepperdine students are volunteers with Young Life Malibu, a national non-profit group which seeks to impact teenagers’ lives through mentoring relationships. Young Life volunteers choose to volunteer at a community event each month as part of the group’s Serve-A-Thon project.
