Mentors Plus
You may also like
"Be a friend. Show the way." This program has proven results.
Mentoring is fun, creates new friendships, and allows volunteers to share their lives with a child or young adult who needs their attention and support. By contributing a few hours each month, mentors can help guide a young person with minor court involvement back onto the right track, or stabilize someone who is suffering from some family difficulty over which they have no control.

Feeling the winter 🥶 blues with this cold snap?
Volunteering provides a great way to combat social isolation, which is associated with depression and anxiety. Getting up and moving and being in a different environment can help us feel better, especially when we know that we are needed, and others are depending on us!

⭐️The Starfish Story⭐️
A young man is walking along the ocean and sees a beach on which thousands and thousands of starfish have washed ashore. Further along he sees an old man, walking slowly and stooping often, picking up one starfish after another and tossing each one gently into the ocean.
“Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?,” he asks.
“Because the sun is up and the tide is going out and if I don’t throw them further in they will die.”
“But, old man, don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it! You can’t possibly save them all, you can’t even save one-tenth of them. In fact, even if you work all day, your efforts won’t make any difference at all.”
The old man listened calmly and then bent down to pick up another starfish and threw it into the sea. “It made a difference to that one.” ❤️
