Summer Boredom

Are you bored this summer? The summer doldrums are on the rise while most of us have a break from school, time off from work, or just have little extra time on our hands. If you have a case of the doldrums I believe I that I may have a cure !!

Have you ever considered mentoring at-risk youth? In the state of Arizona alone, many children have experienced various cases of abuse and/or are in need of another adult role model in their lives. It is really easy to start volunteering and it does not have to take a huge amount of time and effort. There are many organizations across the valley that are looking for mentors and most importantly there are many at-risk kids that need your help.

Mentoring at-risk youth does not only benefit the youth, but it also serves personal benefit. It truly is a humbling experience and it will also make you feel good about yourself that you are giving back! I have been a mentor at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Arizona for over three years and in May of this year I started mentoring at Free Arts of Arizona. Both organizations are truly amazing and I feel so privileged that I have the opportunity to work with both organizations! If you are the least bit interested I highly suggest that you look into one of the various organizations that are in the valley. It doesn't hurt to try new things so if you are ready to make a difference in someones life please get involved ASAP!

Here is a list of some organizations to get involved with, but there are many more out there so please, please, please, don't hesitate and get involved !!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Arizona
Free Arts of Arizona
Best Buddies
Make-A-Wish Foundation
Habitat for Humanity
Central AZ Shelter Services Inc.

Let me know if you have any questions!!
