YouthFriends volunteers prove that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. By spending just one hour a week with students in schools, YouthFriends mentors are making a world of difference in the lives of young people throughout Kansas and Missouri.
YouthFriends is fun for both young people and adults. Volunteers can participate in a wide range of in-school activities, including sharing lunch with a student, reading to a student or class, sharing special talents or career interests, tutoring, or just being a good friend who listens.
The Ray-Pec School district now has around 40 active mentors. More are needed! If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact the School Social Worker Janet James at jjames@raypec.k12.mo.us or 892-1459.
