YouthFriends volunteers prove that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. By spending just one hour a week with students in schools, YouthFriends mentors are making a world difference in the lives of young people throughout Kansas and Missouri.
It's Fun
YouthFriends is fun for both young people and adults. Volunteers can participate in a wide range of in-school activities, including sharing lunch with a student, reading to a student or class, sharing special talents or career interests, tutoring, or just being a good friend who listens.
It's Flexible
YouthFriends accommodates the busy schedules of today's volunteers.
- Volunteer with a group of students or one-to-one
- Choose the age groups you enjoy
- Select a school location close to home or work
- Volunteer for as little as one hour a week
It Makes a Difference
Studies show the presence of a positive adult role model in a young person's life:
- Builds confidence
- Encourages kids to set and achieve goals
- Helps young people succeed
