Are you looking for a rewarding volunteer opportunity at one of our schools?  Become a VOICE Mentor!
Here is what our volunteers like best about their mentoring experiences:
"Helping students become more confident in their abilities"
"Working with the little girl I mentor brightens my week"
"Being part of the student's life - to listen and encourage and share my experiences with them"
"Making a connection with a student and gaining their trust"
"That I can provide a bit of positivity and encouragement to a kid who might be struggling"
"Connecting with a child, one-to-one, through VOICE has been such a joy!"
Discover the benefits of making a new friend; become a nurturer of possibilities for a student!
Join our mentor team today! Contact VOICE staff at voice@isfdn.org.

Highlands Day

the people declared, "Hear Ye! Hear Ye!  
The 26th day of the month of August, in the year of two-thousand-seventeen, has been pronounced Highlands Day!"
 
Once again, one of the best family community events of the summer,
