Review for Center for Family Services Inc, Camden, NJ, USA
I've been with the Center for Family Service program, Quixote Quest, for two years now and I can state with great confidence that choosing to volunteer here was the best decision I ever made.
My fellow teenage volunteers and I go into Camden every Saturday to tutor and mentor children from the area. The kids are so inspiring and I love them like my own siblings. Every volunteer is matched with a child to create a special bond to ensure the child feels comfortable and loved during their time with us. We provide lunch every Saturday and give them books to keep.
We take group trips to parks, the movies, to trampoline parks, and many other places. Watching my mentee grasp the concept of long division and seeing her face light up with a smile as she looks up at me is the best thing anyone could ask for. It is truly an honor to create a safe, happy environment for these children and to know that you are making a difference in their lives.
Quixote Quest is a wonderful program that changes lives everyday and it was made possible by the great people at Center for Family Services.
