Get Social

Volunteer

Do you want to make a difference in the life of a young person? Join PAIR as a volunteer and mentor!

Here is one volunteer's experience:

"Volunteering with PAIR was pure bliss. I would wake up in the morning excited, rather than having to drag myself out of bed. Going to the program and seeing the students' faces, their big smiles, their eagerness to play, and their potential to be extraordinary people was so inspiring. It was the students who taught me so much more than I could have ever imagined." – Mariela Rubio, PAIR summer intern
