“Every time we are together,
it is good.”

"At the end of our excursion,
I drop him off and when he gets
to the porch, he turns around
and waves good-bye," said Vince. "I like that."

"I am blessed that he trusts me with his intimate feelings." Lisa said. "He knows that they are honored and he is learning with each passing interaction not only how much I care about him, but how many others do as well."

Volunteers are essential to bringing HOPE — Homes, Opportunities, Parenting, Education — to Boys Hope Girls Hope scholars. Through positive interactions with caring adults, scholars see that they have value, that they are not alone to deal with the challenges they face and that it’s safe to place their trust in others. It can be a long process though, and it requires many helping hands.

Your involvement, be it once a week or once a month, inside or outside of the home, means a great deal to all of us. The following list provides some ideas as to how you might serve as a volunteer with Boys Hope Girls Hope (but don’t let us stifle you if you think of others!). Some may seem trivial, but to a child who has not known safety, stability or the attention of a caring adult, they make all the difference.

You can get involved...

• As a tutor;
• As a mentor;
• As an Events Volunteer;
• As an admininistrative aid;

...or in any one of many other capacities.

To find out more about getting involved as a volunteer, please contact the Boys Hope Girls Hope Affiliate nearest you.
