Do you enjoy helping others?
Do you feel that you can be a positive role model in the community?
Are you available on Thursday evenings and some Saturdays?
Are you older than 25 years of age?

The Village of Progressive is a Mentoring and Youth Center dedicated to make a spiritual, educational, and emotional difference in the lives of young people throughout the seven communities.
