Volunteer/Mentor

Our mission is to ensure maximum utilization of private charitable resources and local, state, and federal government assistance to support the development of healthy communities and lifestyles. Our goal is to decrease at-risk behaviors that lead to violence, unemployment, disease, incarceration and re-incarceration, premature death, and economic exclusion caused by generational cycles of poverty.

 

The Dannon Project serves our participants on a human level, and we openly invite volunteers and mentors to help us in this regard. Mentorship is an integral part of the journey our participants embark on as they re-establish their lives.
