Another opportunity we have in our community is to volunteer to mentor student(s) at Ottobine Elementary School.  You give an hour a week of time to your student(s) to get to know them and just spend time listening to what is happening in their lives. 
It truly makes a difference for the student(s) to know someone is there for them and is a real blessing for the volunteer as well.
We also serve as prayer partners for teachers and provide snacks periodically to classes at the school.
You can visit their website to know more about the programs offered at Ottobine.
