YouthFriends volunteers prove that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. By spending time with students in schools, YouthFriends mentors are making a world of difference in the lives of young people throughout Kansas and Missouri. 

It's Fun

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.

It's Flexible

YouthFriends accommodates the busy schedules of today's volunteers.

  • Volunteer with a group of students or one-to-one
  • Choose the age groups you enjoy
  • Select a school location close to home or work
  • Volunteer for as little as one hour a week

It Makes the Difference
Studies show the presence of a positive adult role model in a young person's life:

  • Builds confidence
  • Encourages kids to set and achieve goals
  • Helps young people succeed
