It’s great to see Kenny and Larry – two of Chandler School’s amazing middle schoolers volunteering their time to read for AAPI Heritage Month at Crowell Library’s Barth Community Room recently. Research on volunteer mentor programs has demonstrated mostly positive outcomes for mentees. As a result, many organizations and schools seek to attract and retain volunteers to assist children in need of support.

Regular access to civic-engagement opportunities can lead to better outcomes for children, young adults, and their communities. Youth who volunteer are more likely to perform better in school and work, and become civically active adults.
