"My granddad was a major part of my life." Meet William Hicks, a pipeline operator from Weatherford, Texas, and one of our 2023 Volunteers of the Year. Honoring his granddad, William focuses on making a difference in developing youth. Each day after work, he volunteers as a football and baseball coach with Millsap Youth Association. It’s been a developmental process for Hicks as he learns to best coach each player on their individual needs. In addition to sports, this sentiment extends to another organization he volunteers with. He serves as a guide in the youth hunter program with the Texas Wildlife Association. A scoutmaster for years, Hicks saw this as a natural step to help. “He took me on my first hunting trip, and I took him on his last. If we were not hunting, we would be watching hunting videos. It is an important thing. We are building memories with these kids.” #ONEOKGivesBack
