Volunteer Success Stories
I have had a wonderful experience mentoring with WTC. I have met so many loving and caring people including the young adults to whom I mentor, the encouraging staff at Notre Dame High School, and the smiling, fist bumping students. It’s heartwarming to see everyone working effortlessly together.
