Volunteers
Not everyone can make the time to volunteer as a tutor/mentor. There are many other ways you can help Cabrini Connections.
Volunteers serve in leadership roles, from our Board of Directors and Advisory Council to the groups who organize our Holiday Party, Field Trips to Business and College Sites, and our annual Video Festival. Volunteers also help with the Tutor/Mentor Connection.

This means many things. You show this by attendance, by your interest in what they do, what they are doing in school, who they are and what is important to them.
