Volunteering with Prodigal Son
A great way to get involved and help young people is to give some of your time as a volunteer ...
Our volunteers know that they receive far more in return than they ever give.
We know Prodigal Son wouldn't exist without them.
Why volunteer?
Not part of 'the system', a volunteer is a very powerful person
They can bring an outside perspective that has a fresh impact
A volunteer can be a positive role model
Many young people simply need someone to take the first step towards them
A volunteer really cares
They aren't there because they have to be there or because they're paid to be there
It is a costly commitment to be a volunteer
Too many young people have been let down many times, sometimes by people who should never have let them down
Young people often have an intuitive ability to identitfy what's in a person's heart
Volunteers can bring a special innocence that can be very disarming
"We can do no great things;
only small things with great love"
