Volunteer Orientation

Become a Mentor for Tomorrow's Leaders

“Volunteering with WYP is immensely gratifying! I love learning from and along with the kids and participating in such a vibrant community. The energy at WYP is incredibly unique and offers everyone- child, volunteer, parent, and mentor alike a special chance to connect with nature, themselves, and others.”-Dominique '09 - '10 Volunteer
