New Flex Schedule

Yes, our new FLEX schedule allows you to choose one of three volunteer time options:

  1. Traditional: Three to four hours a week, every week.
  2. Weekly: One hour each week (In-School Mentoring Only).
  3. Bi-Weekly: Three to four hours every other week.

Never before have we offered such a variety of volunteer options, but we believe that this FLEX system will not only assist you, but the children waiting for a Big Brother, Big Sister or In-School Mentor. We currently have a number of children waiting to be matched to a volunteer, and you can help.
