• Vicki, Volunteer Helper: "Shortly after I began volunteering, I observed a young member who was alone and appeared anxious, having difficulty making friends. After spending some time talking with her and encouraging her participation in activities, her confidence began to increase. I introduced her to a group of girls, and now she attends every week, having formed lasting friendships. Witnessing her growing confidence is so wonderful, and this is why I volunteer every week—I can see the positive impact we have on young people."
