VOLUNTEERING IN ACTION

Transforming Lives Through Mentorship

Meet Terra and Serenity – a mentor-mentee duo who have been growing together for almost two years. Terra’s favorite part of being a mentor has been introducing Serenity to the world of STEM and art, sparking new interests and possibilities. Together, they’ve created memories that will last a lifetime, from exploring the Beyond Van Gogh exhibit to going on college road trips to Virginia State and Morgan State Universities.

Want to make a difference like Terra? Become a mentor today and help shape a young person’s future!
