In this special VOLentine’s Day episode of American Potential, host David From shares the heartwarming story of Pat Sterck and Bo Bolling, two New Mexico volunteers in their 70s who met while serving their community — and unexpectedly found love. What started as volunteering with the AFP New Mexico team turned into friendship, then romance, and eventually marriage.

Pat and Bo talk about how shared values, faith, civic engagement, and a commitment to making their state better brought them together. From phone banking to an engagement celebration at the AFP office, the New Mexico AFP team even played a role in their love story. It’s a joyful reminder that it’s never too late for new beginnings — and that sometimes love shows up when you’re simply showing up to serve.
