The mission of Volunteer USA Foundation is to inspire a spirit of volunteerism to make our communities stronger. We empower families, nonprofits, and schools through innovative and easy-to-implement programs and products.

Volunteer USA Foundation advocates for youth mentoring and literacy programs as the heart of how we improve families’ lives; as well as creating programs to fill critical caps in communities where young people need support. We believe by educating children and their parents we empower them, and by motivating others to give back we grow our movement to create brighter futures for all children.

With the support of generous donors and committed volunteers our programs:

• Help struggling young readers enjoy one-one-one mentoring sessions with a teen who becomes their role model,

• Create childhood libraries in homes that once were barren of books,

• Train teens to respond to emergencies and disasters when their family members, schools and communities need help most,

• Award scholarships to children and their parents who need a second chance at building a bright future

• Teach English and Sign language so that children and their parents can communicate at school, work and in their neighborhoods

Volunteer USA programs are touching hundreds-of-thousands of young lives. And, at a time when so many of our children and their families are feeling the burdens of the country’s economic downturn, we are inspired to do even more to help.

In the past two years, Volunteer USA has built a formidable training team. We train on average 2000 families a month on disaster recovery, parent involvement, reading, and more. Results are based on pre and post-test evaluations; call us for more details.
