Thousands of individuals volunteer in Pittsburgh each year. Volunteering strengthens communities by addressing the needs of both individuals and local nonprofit organizations. Volunteering helps develop interpersonal skills and self-esteem, as well as giving one a sense of purpose. Cami Teacoach wanted to share all the benefits of volunteering at the local level with children, and so she created VolunTOTS.

Thirty years ago, two dancers met in Pittsburgh dancing for a local company. They fell in love and founded Attack Theatre. Their desire to create new and inspirational dance for Pittsburgh audiences was received with open arms. As the years passed, they have touched countless lives through performances, teaching classes, family game nights, participating in First Night Pittsburgh, as well as endless festivals here and abroad.
