2nd Graders
Lunch Buddies
Students have one-on-one time with an assigned "buddy" during school lunch. It helps improve both social skills and self-esteem to foster a better attitude for learning — ultimately improving school success!
Ages: 5-17 Years
Youth Mentorship
Begin one of life’s most rewarding and fulfilling experiences – being matched as a mentor of a child and making a real difference in their life. We believe every child deserves a positive relationship with a caring adult.
All Ages
Volunteering
Not ready to become a mentor, but still want to help us make a difference? We're always looking for crafts & games helpers, day-of event staff, or a host for mentoring activities or visits!
