Mentor: Meetings will be on 1st and 3rd Thursday nights. Mentors should also reach out to mentees to build relationships throughout the week.
Childcare Volunteer: Volunteers needed for the Thursday night meetings as well as during the days we host distance learning space. We provide childcare on site at the Youth for Christ Campus.
Drive teens and their babies to meetings and appointments as needed
Help with special events like field trips, holiday and special occasion parties. If you can drive, decorate, bake treats, help prepare the meal, take pictures, wrap Christmas gifts, etc. this is a "once in a while" opportunity for you to serve and make a difference.
Make Meals for moms and mentors during group meetings, for new moms after they give birth. This would be a great thing for your church small group, family or friend group to do.
