"Volunteering is the art of giving without expecting anything in return, except the satisfaction of making a difference in the lives of others and in your community."
Volunteering in your community is important because it allows you to give back and make a positive impact. When you volunteer, you are contributing to the betterment of your community, whether it’s through helping individuals, supporting organizations or working towards a common goal. Volunteering also allows you to meet new people, learn new skills and gain valuable experiences that can help you in your personal and professional life. By giving your time and energy, you can make a difference and help to create a stronger, more connected and compassionate community for everyone.
At Solid Foundation, we believe that our volunteers and mentors are the backbone of our program. We strive to maintain the highest ethical and professional standards, and expect the same from our volunteers. Our ideal volunteers possess a genuine interest and desire to guide, teach, and mentor our students, and should possess a basic respect and love for children. A high school diploma, some college education, and good listening skills are helpful. In addition, our tutors should have a clear understanding of their skillset and be available to make school contact with teachers, attend campus luncheons, and participate in off-campus events with the approval of the Director.
