We are constantly reaching for volunteers to connect with children living in orphanages around Bulgaria. This mentorship programme is crucial for the kids as this is how they learn new things, life lessons or anything else a volunteer could provide. Every volunteer has something to tell to a child - about work, or skills, about career choices, ups and downs, about stubbornness or simply about love.We have been doing this for 8 years now and although there is not a direct connection between children's success and our friendship-mentor programme, kids develop much better than when left alone.
We fundraise in order to be able to travel to the children and befriend the many volunteers travelling mainly from Sofia to around 20 orphanages in Bulgaria. We do this every weekend, every month for 8 years now and although we do not promise the children that we will come back, we always do.

BARK Therapy Dogs helps children learn to read through the use of friendly, nonjudgmental therapy dogs. We are looking for volunteers to assist children with signing in, choosing a book, and showing them to a dog to read with at our library visits in various areas of Southern California - usually once per month. We are also looking for volunteers with friendly dogs who might like to become a therapy team. Dogs just need to have a good temperament, be well-behaved, and know their basic obedience commands (we no longer require CGC testing prior to our evaluation). More information can be found at barkdogs.org or call us at 562-235-8835.

Read to Succeed is a volunteer program that helps match area school children with volunteers who will commit to, at least, once a week, to help mentor a child in a school setting. This program allows children who are at-risk, and falling behind in reading, to get the one-on-one help and encouragement from caring individuals.Each volunteer will be assigned a school and classroom in which they will work with the individual teacher who will identify a child in need of mentoring. The teach will also provide the guidance, curriculum, and oversight to the volunteer while in their classroom.
All Read to Succeed volunteers must pass a background check both with the FBI and BCI. There are funds available through the Tiffin-Seneca United Way to help pay for the background checks. This is a great way to truly make a HUGE difference in a child's life. By improving children's reading skills, you are helping that child to succeed in school, and in life!
