Be the One, our life-changing mentoring program, is designed to help create a sense of belonging for our youth. We encourage mentors to share their knowledge, specialties, and caring hearts. Mentors are incredibly important for our youth that have aged out of foster care. It takes as little as an hour a week to have this kind of life-changing impact for a young adult.

Parent Aides are trained, professionally supervised individuals (paid and volunteer) who provide supportive and educational, in-home services to families at-risk of child abuse and neglect. Exchange Parent Aides act as mentors and provide intensive support, information, and modeling of effective parenting, all in the family's home.

We have a number of events, virtually and in person, throughout the year that we always need volunteers to help run smoothly. Whatever your skillset or however much or little time you have to give, there is a way for you to help at Ready for Life!

Don't know where you fit as a volunteer? There's a place for everyone. We have opportunities for individuals, groups, clubs, companies, and more. Register to volunteer and we will help you find your fit.
