UCAN Serve Youth Mentor
"Participating in UCAN Serve as a youth mentor has shown me how my time is benefiting youth. There is no better feeling than when you teach a kid basic skills in sports. When they first learn that skill and it brings a giant smile to their face, it gives you a feeling of, ‘I taught you that, and no one else.’ AmeriCorps has shown me how giving my time to others not only gives me a great feeling, but I also get respect and gratitude. Now that I see how much people value and appreciate the time I give, I never want to stop volunteering."
