Join the Transformation of a Generation

Transform your life and someone else’s.

By volunteering just one hour per week, you could make a difference in the life of a young person and transform our community.

Here’s the opportunity:

Based on past programme impacts:

  • 87% of middle school students achieved or made progress on education goals.
  • 80% of high school students graduated or returned to receive their high school diploma, two years post programming.
  • 22% of past high school students are currently enrolled in college, two years post-programming.
  • 92% of high school students have not offended or reoffended two years post-programming.

 

As Mirrors coach you’ll improve your own life too!

The majority of participants report they are able to get along better with their family.

Do you know someone else who might be a good coach or support to a young person in the community?

Our training and experience is first class and builds your skills in performance coaching.  Past volunteers continually share about getting something out of the programme for themselves when the thought they signed up to give.

Sign up and transform our community one person at a time.

Are you a possibility?

Are you:

  • Fun and enthusiastic?
  • At least 21 years old?
  • Committed to making a positive difference in the life of a youth?
  • Interested in developing new skills that could improve your own life?

 

If you answered “YES” to the above Mirrors is the right choice for you!
