Volunteer Opportunities
We are now open and allowing in person volunteers at our Campus location. We also have options for in house projects and events in the new year. PACE volunteer opportunities will return this summer.

Mentor
Weekdays, Weekends, Evenings
This requires a weekly commitment of an hour.
All applicants must be at least 21 years of age and able to pass a background check.
Take the lead in supporting a young person through an ongoing, one-on-one relationship during this difficult time in their life. As a mentor, you will offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee. Mentors play a key role in the success of our kids. The mentor is expected to commit one hour a week, in mutually determined activities. You will gain personal fulfillment by contributing to an individual's life and to the larger community. There is much satisfaction in helping someone mature, progress and achieve goals.
