Who are our youth?

95% of our youth live in poverty. While our youth may have an occasional behavior issue, they are good, likeable youth. Our youth have not participated in the activities we provide for them.

Why Volunteer?

Make a difference in the life of a youth. Feel good about helping another. Learn and grow yourself! Without volunteers, our program can't exist. We need you. Our youth need you.

Who volunteers?

People from all walks of life volunteer with us. We have volunteers who work with youth professionally, and some of our volunteers are avid bicyclists or canoeists. The one thing we all have in common is a passion for helping youth in need.

Can I test the waters?

Yes! Fill out an application and try an outing with us. Or, offer to help with a fundraiser. Come see what we are about.
