Volunteer Programs & Services

Volunteer opportunities include participating with another mentor in conducting a discussion group with middle school Crusaders. Groups meet weekly for a minimum of 75 minutes in middle schools in Pawtucket, Providence, Central Falls and Woonsocket. Topics for discussion are selected by students and mentors together.

You may also help by assisting in after-school programs for elementary school Crusaders. Programs vary in length and content. Check our online calendar for a schedule of upcoming events.

Why Volunteer?

Sharing your gift by serving as a volunteer or mentor for The College Crusade will be a rewarding experience for you as well as the Crusaders you serve. Research has shown that kids with mentors are less likely to skip school, use alcohol or drugs or engage in violent activities. Mentoring has proven benefits for both you and the children.
