Our organization thrives because of the dedication, compassion, and unwavering support that volunteers bring to their roles. Whether they are mentors, event helpers, or administrative supporters, each volunteer makes a profound impact on the Volunteering with our organization comes in many forms. Our most well-known role is that of a mentor. Bigs commit to spending quality time with their Littles, forming positive, life-changing relationships. From playing sports to cooking together, these simple moments help build self-esteem, confidence, and resilience in our kids. In addition to mentoring, our volunteers contribute in countless other ways. Event volunteers play key roles in fundraisers like our historic Curl ForKids Sake and Railway City Road Races, directly supporting the programs we offer. Some volunteers lend their skills behind the scenes, assisting with administrative tasks, marketing efforts, or coordinating logistics for our events. Others provide valuable expertise by serving on committees or our Board of Directors, helping shape the vision and strategy of our organization. The Power of a Helping Hand Every hour our volunteers contribute forms a ripple effect, positively influencing not only the young people we support but also their families and the broader community. Our volunteers act as role models, guides, and advocates, inspiring brighter lives of the young people we serve. The Many Faces of Volunteering
