United Way Day of Action: Mentor Drive
Sign up for Mentoring info and opportunities HERE!
Americans have spoken and the consensus is out: improving education is a community responsibility. Today, fewer Americans are likely to earn a diploma than their parents, a distinction not shared by any other industrialized country.
On June 21 - United Way's Day of Action, United Way Worldwide will launch an ambitious goal to recruit one million volunteer readers, tutors and mentors. There is something for everyone with the passion and commitment to get things done. Locally, United Way - in collaboration with mentoring groups throughout are community - are joining this critical work. Sign up today to find out more about mentoring and it's impact on youth here.
Sometimes kids just need someone who believes in them - and having an impact as a mentor can take as little as one hour a week and yet have an impact which lasts a lifetime. Join United Way of Greater Topeka and come together with friends, family, and neighbors to show the power of Living United. Volunteer to be a mentor starting with just one hour each week to postively change the life of a young person. If one million of us do it, it will change America.
