Volunteer
We are always looking for committed people to help with the development of our young men and this community. We often require assistance with service projects, building projects, field trips, summer camps, teaching (business classes, arts classes, language classes, and vocational skills), and research.
Do not hesitate to move in the way that God moves you. If that is to render your time, talent, or treasure to assist us, then please contact us. It takes a village, as they say.
To volunteer with the Young Men’s Educational Network, please contact
