Give Back During National Volunteer Week

As a caring adult and Everyday Mentor, there are lots of ways you can support young people during National Volunteer Week this week!

Check out this list from We Are Teachers for ideas that include volunteering with national organizations or ideas that are specific to your state. You can also look for lists or postings for opportunities in your local community! 

Looking for a longer-term volunteer opportunity? Become a formal mentor to a young person! You can search for mentoring opportunities in your area using the Mentoring Connector - the only national database for mentoring programs.

Volunteering can promote valuable skills in young people and help them learn compassion and responsibility. When you're looking for ways to volunteer, consider inviting the young people in your life to join and give back together. Look for opportunities that excite you both and be sure to have fun!
