It Has Never Been Easier To Make A Difference New Flex Schedule Yes, our new FLEX schedule allows you to choose one of three volunteer time options: 1) Traditional: Three to four hours a week, every week. 2) Weekly: One hour each week (In-School Mentoring Only). 3) Bi-Weekly: Three to four hours every other week. Never before have we offered such a variety of volunteer options, but we believe that this FLEX system will not only assist you, but the children waiting for a Big Brother, Big Sister or In-School Mentor. We currently have a number of children waiting to be matched to a volunteer, and you can help.
