My Brother's Keeper is a "ministry of education" as well as a "ministry of loving service."
Hundreds of student volunteers from middle schools, high schools, colleges, and churches participate in our work each year. They help us make deliveries to families in need and, along the way, learn first-hand the authentic joy of service.
We view our relationship with student volunteers as a two-way street: students generously give their time and effort to My Brother's Keeper… our obligation is to offer a meaningful volunteer experience in return. We take this responsibility very seriously.
Our student volunteers have fun, learn important lessons, and feel like they made a difference.
