A Little Can Go a Long Way

“I volunteer with Rising Ground because I believe helping the youth through guidance and positive influence is a benefit to myself, my community and ultimately to all of society. One thing I have learned from this experience is that a little can go a long way in making someone else feel important, competent and complete, whether it be the mentor or the mentee. It is truly rewarding for both sides. One of the most memorable moments volunteering was attending my mentee's football game and simply supporting him and his team as he competed in something he was very passionate about.”
