Helping Your Community:
What Children, Teens, and
Adults Can Do

"Volunteering not only improves the
lives of others, it also can improve
your life and your child's life. It
can teach and give: work
experience, job skills,
responsibility, self-respect,
self-esteem, perspective, passion,
hope, leadership skills, generosity,
tolerance, understanding,
awareness, fun, credibility,
confidence, community connections,
appreciation for others, sense of
belonging, cooperation, public
speaking, planning, organizational
skills, working for something
beyond their own lives. Everyone --
from small children to senior
citizens -- has something to offer
the world."

"...a teen help network made up of teen
mentors that have the desire to reach
out and connect with one another.   Our
staff members have not been chosen
for their spot-free record, but rather for
the real life experiences that they bring
with them that may be useful in the
resolution of fellow teens' problems."
